Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday said she may move to force a vote on impeaching President Biden over the situation at the southern border this week, a threat that comes as the president prepares to roll out a highly anticipated executive order that would crack down on the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene told reporters Monday evening that she was going to move to force a vote on her articles of impeachment that night, but decided to hold off to first talk to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). She warned, however, that she may trigger the resolution later this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight here, privileged resolution of impeachment,\u201d Greene told reporters, dangling the articles. \u201cI can force a vote this week. But you know what, I was gonna do it tonight but I decided I\u2019m gonna go talk to our Republican elected Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, that I actually voted for that claims he supports Trump, and ask him if he\u2019s gonna do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressed on what would happen if Johnson declined to put the articles of impeachment on the floor for a vote, Greene said she would force a vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just drop them on the floor and then we can vote and see where everybody stands,\u201d she told reporters. \u201cI\u2019m mad. I didn\u2019t come up here to hang out with everybody and go \u2018oh, hey, guys.\u2019 I mean, my people at home are mad. Everybody across this country are furious. We don\u2019t want a banana republic \u2014 we want an actual legitimate government. We want a real justice system. We don\u2019t have one right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene could call her impeachment resolution as early as Tuesday, after which leadership would have two legislative days to stage a vote on the measure. It is likely, however, that the chamber would vote on a motion to table the resolution or refer it to committee \u2014 which was the case last June, when Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) forced a vote on her resolution impeaching Biden over the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The threat by Greene came the day before Biden is expected to sign an executive order that would shut down asylum requests at the border if the average number of daily encounters reaches 2,500 at ports of entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a plan that closely mirrors a policy first floated in legislation from a bipartisan group of senators that was negotiated with the White House. Conservatives quickly sank the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also follows accusations from some Republicans that Biden should use his executive authority to enact tougher policies at the border, though it\u2019s unclear whether the move is lawful and immigration rights groups have pledged to sue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes as the border continues to dominate conversations on the campaign trail, with voters saying it is one of their top issues in the lead-up to the November elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans have slammed Biden\u2019s reported plans to issue an executive order, arguing that he is acting for political reasons. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d called the planned move \u201ctoo little too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene\u2019s resolution reads much like an earlier resolution crafted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas \u2014 another effort the GOP struggled to pass, though it eventually succeeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation accuses Biden of violating his oath of office and failing to follow immigration laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an argument that comes with many of the same pitfalls as the Mayorkas impeachment articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like with Mayorkas, the resolution accuses Biden of failing to maintain operational control of the border. But the law cited in the bill, the Secure Fence Act, set a standard of perfection that no president or Homeland Security secretary has met \u2013 determining compliance to be met only when no person or contraband illegally crosses the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene\u2019s resolution also takes issue with Biden\u2019s approach to immigration in general, saying he\u2019s violated the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) both with his policies and by failing to detain all migrants who cross the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no president has ever detained all migrants that cross the border as the U.S. simply does not have the capacity to do so. And immigration law experts previously countered claims that Biden administration policies violated the INA, determining that the administration\u2019s policies were within the bounds of the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene nonetheless writes that Biden has \u201cfailed to enact policies and has created an environment of lawlessness to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Biden has created a national security crisis and is endangering the lives of everyday Americans with his open borders policies,\u201d the resolution states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Greene follows through on triggering a vote on her impeachment resolution, it would mark the second time this Congress that the House was forced to weigh in on articles of impeachment against Biden in a hasty fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boebert forced a vote on her resolution to impeach Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration policy. The House ultimately voted to refer the resolution to the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, sidestepping a direct vote on the charges against the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boebert\u2019s move, however, emerged as a point of contention in the bitter relationship between her and Greene. The Daily Beast reported at the time that Greene had accused Boebert of copying her articles of impeachment against Biden. Boebert approached Greene over those statements amid votes, and at one point, Greene called Boebert a \u201clittle b\u2014-,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene later confirmed the conversation and said The Daily Beast\u2019s story was \u201cimpressively correct.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
