The Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The vote marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached.

House Republicans have spent months investigating the secretary’s actions as they’ve aimed to make immigration and border security a key election issue.

    It has effectively become a political stunt unless one party controls both wings of Congress, at which point it will become a way to remove anyone they dislike for any reason

      Which is the point of this. They’re running a twice impeached candidate.

      Their purpose is to make impeachment a common, meaningless political stunt.
