Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene said Thursday that she will introduce articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden, Report informs via POLITICO.
The Georgia Republican said the articles would deal with Biden’s handling of border security, accusing him of an “absolute failure … to protect the states.”
Greene has spoken with GOP leadership about her impeachment articles, saying that they had largely focused on asking questions about the legal reasoning. Greene said she "explained the reasons I was doing this" and "they didn't tell me not to do — they just asked me questions about the method, about the legality and things pertaining to the constitution."
“I have great respect for Republican leadership and I want to work with my colleagues in the conference,” Greene said.
Greene said it was the “first set” of impeachment articles she will be offering against the president.
House Republicans offered articles of impeachment against Biden over the last two years, when they were in the minority. But Greene’s are the first against the president since January.
“Is there a bigger example of a shameless sideshow political stunt than a trolling impeachment attack by one of the most extreme MAGA members in Congress over ‘national security’ while she actively demands to defund the FBI and even said she ‘would’ve been armed’ and ‘would have won’ the January 6 insurrection if only she’d been in charge of it?" said White House spokesperson Ian Sams in a statement.
Impeaching Biden doesn't have the votes within the House GOP conference to pass. But Greene could offer her impeachment resolution on the floor as a question of the privileges of the House which would allow her to force a vote related to the resolution within a matter of days.
Greene, however, said that she was not going down the road for now, saying she wanted to build up co-sponsors and support for impeachment.
