House Republicans Debate Resolution to Impeach President Biden, with Some Urging Committee Process Before Vote

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday urged House Republicans to oppose a resolution introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., that would force a quick vote to impeach President Joe Biden. McCarthy argued that such an important issue should go through the committee process before landing on the House floor.

Rep. Don Bacon, a moderate Republican from Nebraska, echoed McCarthy’s sentiment, telling reporters that an impeachment resolution should go through a committee process before being voted on. The remarks were made during a closed-door meeting of House Republicans as they debated whether to press forward with an impeachment vote while multiple GOP-led committees are still in the middle of investigating the president and his family members.

Boebert introduced the privileged resolution on Tuesday evening, claiming that Biden has “consistently violated immigration law by pursuing an aggressive open borders agenda.” If the resolution passes, the House of Representatives could vote on impeaching Biden this week.

The resolution has sparked debate among Republicans, with some arguing that it should go through the committee process before being voted on, while others are in favor of a quick vote. It is unclear at this time how the resolution will be handled and if a vote will take place.

The debate over the resolution comes as the GOP-led committees continue to investigate Biden and his family members. It remains to be seen how the resolution will be handled and if a vote will take place.
