House Republicans will deliver articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10, roughly two months after voting to impeach him.
In a letter sent Thursday afternoon, 12 House Republicans, including the managers who will deliver the articles, stated that “the House’s solemn act to impeach the first sitting Cabinet official in American history demands timely action by the Senate.”
On Thursday, the House Republicans, timing the delivery to lawmakers’ return from a two-week recess, demanded the upper chamber follow through with a trial as Democratic leadership contemplates quashing them shortly after they are transmitted. The Democratic-controlled Senate has floated the idea of tabling the articles, which has not been done in more than 20 impeachment hearings in the body’s history. It could also move to launch a trial committee and refer the articles to that panel.
