.ByronYork's Daily Memo — Impeaching Joe Biden
IMPEACHING JOE BIDEN. Rep. Lauren Boebert said she will bring articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden to the House floor and that she will do it in a way, a parliamentary maneuver called a privileged motion, that will force the House to take a vote on it. Boebert's effort to impeach the president focuses on his mishandling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Boebert has a recent model for what she is doing, and that model is Rep. Al Green , who worked tirelessly to impeach former President Donald Trump until he finally succeeded.
Green's was not an entirely lonely crusade. He had several House Democrats supporting him along the way. As the days passed, Reps. Adriano Espaillat , Sheila Jackson Lee , Brad Sherman , Pramila Jayapal , Steve Cohen , and Jamie Raskin joined in support. Nevertheless, Green was not able to get enough support to get a vote on the articles in the then-Republican-controlled House.
Green was a little shocked, too, by his own success. But he knew he had started something."Just stay tuned," he said."I assure you, that's not the last vote to impeach." And indeed, it wasn't. Was impeachment of Trump justified in 2019? This sounds cynical, but it didn't really matter. Democrats were determined to do it. And, of course, they did it again in 2021, even though it meant holding a Senate trial, probably unconstitutionally, after Trump had left office.
