House Republicans are eyeing a redo on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week after the conference fell short of penalizing the embattled Cabinet head in a stunning — and embarrassing — fashion.

The House is slated to hold another vote on impeaching Mayorkas on Tuesday, which Republicans expect to be successful, as Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) returns to the Capitol following cancer treatment. If all members are present and vote the same way as last week, and Scalise is supportive of impeachment, the effort will just squeak by.

    It’s the only “governing” they know and want to do.

      Which is exactly why it shouldn’t be legal.

      Congress should not be allowed to vote for the same thing over and over.

        You can’t be tried for the same thing over and over again in different courts, much less the same one. The Double Jeopardy doctrine should apply to Congress as well.

          At the very least, you should have to wait until the next session.

        So you don’t think they should be able to try to vote on Ukraine aid again since the vote failed in the House?

          Would there be a point to it? Is it going to magically pass the house the next time this session somehow?
