<p>The GOP-led House has opted to delay sending <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Articles-of-Impeachment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment articles</a> against Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> over his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-shatters-record-with-historic-number-of-illegal-aliens-encountered-in-december" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handling of</a> the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a> to the Democrat-controlled Senate next week.</p>
<p>Instead of conducting the handoff on Wednesday — which was part of a plan announced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-picks-date-to-present-mayorkas-impeachment-articles-to-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two weeks ago</a> — the lower chamber will now wait until at least Monday, according to the office of Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA).</p>
<p>&#8220;To ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty, the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week,” Johnson spokesperson Taylor Haulsee said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1777788462206246958" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;There is no reason whatsoever for the Senate to abdicate its responsibility to hold an impeachment trial.&#8221;</p>
<p>House lawmakers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-impeaches-mayorkas-in-second-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> two impeachment articles in February that accuse Mayorkas of &#8220;willfully and systemically&#8221; refusing to comply with federal immigration laws, and the other alleged he &#8220;breached the public trust&#8221; with false statements and obstructing lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).</p>
<p>Although roughly two months have passed, Senate Republicans asked Johnson to delay sending over the articles until at least Monday to give them more time, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1777786321311859008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. His colleague, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), <a href="https://twitter.com/SenMikeLee/status/1777806413600883032" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was grateful for Johnson&#8217;s &#8220;bold willingness&#8221; to delay the transfer.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t want this to come over on the eve of the moment when members might be operating under the influence of jet fume intoxication,&#8221; Lee said, suggesting that members would be eager to end the trial quickly. He added, &#8220;It&#8217;s much better for us to do this at the beginning of a legislative week than the end of one.&#8221;</p>
<p>There had been reporting that said Democrats <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/09/senate-democrats-dismiss-mayorkas-impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expected</a> to dismiss the impeachment charges before a full trial could take place and senators had the opportunity to vote on whether to convict or acquit Mayorkas.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to try to resolve this issue as quickly as impossible. Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements,&#8221; Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1777767286151012829" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters on Wednesday. His office previously said senators would be sworn in as jurors a day after the House impeachment managers present their articles to the Senate and Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) would preside.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two-thirds vote</a> is required for a conviction, which would lead to removal from office. But the articles may not make it far with a motion to table, which, according to the Senate glossary, is &#8220;a proposal to set aside any pending question. Used to dispose of a question the Chamber does not want to consider further. Agreement to the motion is equivalent to defeating the question tabled.&#8221;</p>

<p>Democrats have criticized the impeachment proceedings <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-committee-picks-date-to-consider-mayorkas-impeachment-articles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a &#8220;political stunt</a>,&#8221; while Mayorkas <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeKhalilTV/status/1752349544925294720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed back against</a> what he called &#8220;false accusations&#8221; levied against him. A DHS spokesperson reacted to the successful House impeachment vote by <a href="https://twitter.com/JacquiHeinrich/status/1757562709107761523" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;House Republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than working to solve the serious challenges at our border.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not every GOP senator appears to favor the impeachment effort. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) declined to rule out supporting a motion to dismiss, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4582969-romney-mayorkas-impeachment-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Hill</a>. He said Mayorkas has been following the Biden administration&#8217;s border policy, which he added has &#8220;a huge damaging effect on the country — but it’s not a high crime or misdemeanor.&#8221;</p>
