.RepBoebert brought her articles of impeachment against POTUS as a privileged motion Tuesday, fast-tracking it past a similar one introduced by RepMTG in May. Both center their basis for impeachment on Biden's handling of the southern border.
The two Republican congresswomen both center their basis for impeachment on Biden's handling of the southern border, but neither have co-sponsored each other's articles of impeachment. Here is a look at the two sets of articles of impeachment against Biden, and why Boebert elected to file articles of impeachment after Greene had already filed a similar resolution.
Rep. Matt Gaetz was an original co-sponsor of the articles, while Reps. Diana Harshbarger , Cory Mills , and Josh Brecheen are also co-sponsors.The articles filed by Boebert on June 13 follow a similar rationale to Greene's articles, citing impeachment as the remedy for Biden's handling of the southern border.
On Tuesday, Boebert notified the House of Representatives of her intent to offer a privileged resolution for the articles of impeachment. The privileged resolution expedites the resolution to be voted on by the House and bypasses deliberations in committee. House rules say that the legislation should be voted on within two days, even without the approval of House leadership.It is unclear why the two Republican congresswomen did not file a joint resolution with articles of impeachment.
In December 2022, Boebert attacked Greene by alluding to an infamous post the Georgia congresswoman shared about alleged Jewish space lasers in 2018. Greene has renounced the conspiracy theory and explained that she fell victim to internet misinformation. "I’ve supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. President Trump has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. She just barely came through by 500 votes," Greene tweeted."She gladly takes our $$$ but when she’s been asked: Lauren refuses to endorse President Trump, she refuses to support Kevin McCarthy, and she childishly threw me under the bus for a cheap sound bite.
