House Republicans are preparing to sign articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the first cabinet official to be formally impeached in 150 years. Democrats controlling the Senate are expected to vote to acquit him, stating the impeachment articles are based on policy disagreements, not high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Senate, led by Chuck Schumer, aims to quickly resolve the impeachment proceedings, emphasizing that impeachment should not be used to settle policy disputes. While the House has the right to accuse, the Senate requires two-thirds vote to convict, and the actual impeachment trial procedures are historically set.
