Could Joe Biden Get Impeached? Impeachment is a very political process as the two impeachments against former President Donald Trump proved. However, Republicans lack the same degree of political unity and bloodlust toward President Joe Biden that the Democrats have shown regarding Trump. Democrats started theorizing about how to impeach Trump in April 2016 even before he was the Republican nominee for president.
Republicans have been shy about impeachment since their politically disastrous impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998 cost them in the midterms that year. Impeachment requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate to convict. A majority of senators voted to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial; however, they fell 10 short of the 67 votes needed to remove or in that case block the former president from holding office again.
“I don’t think you want to get into where it’s a tit for tat, every two years or four years you’re dealing with impeachment proceedings in the House and Senate,” Senate Republican Whip John Thune told The Hill in January about the idea that Republicans should impeach the president over his mishandling of classified documents. “There has to be a really good reason, obviously, the constitutional reasons and grounds for that. So we’ll see where it goes.”
Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Braun similarly put cold water on the idea of impeachment.
“I think the country will fatigue of that,” he told The Hill, noting that impeachment proceedings against former Presidents Clinton and Trump “have not ended up with any real result.”
Braun continued: “If you start doing it on everything, I think it would be bad politically and for the mechanics of government working.”
Why Try to Impeach Joe Biden?
Several causes exist that could potentially be used to impeach President Biden were Republicans to decide to go there:
1) Biden could be impeached over his involvement in Hunter Biden’s business dealings due to an appearance of a conflict of interest.
The law as written does not extend to the president; however, the Democratic Congress that impeached former President Trump over his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky established a loose precedent. This could be used against Biden if Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the Republican leadership chose.
Federal conflict of interest rules prohibit personal business relationships between those in government and family members including children. Considering that President Biden was vice president at the time of Hunter’s business dealings with Burisma in Ukraine, and face-value evidence shows that the president may have personally benefited from such dealings, it could be used to impeach the president.
2) Biden could be impeached over his handling of the pullout from Afghanistan that left billions of dollars worth of American military and security equipment in the hands of the Taliban, tens of thousands of Afghans and Americans were left behind after the pullout in August 2021.
3) Sen. Ted Cruz argued earlier this year that Biden could be impeached for dereliction of duty due to his administration’s refusal to stop the flow of undocumented migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness of President Biden’s refusal to enforce the border. His decision to just defy federal immigration laws and allow 2 million people to come here unimpeded in direct contravention of his obligation under Article 2 of the Constitution to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” Cruz said. “That is probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment, but there may be others.” Since Biden became president, at least 3 million have illegally entered the U.S.

Joe Biden should have never been on the ball0ot and Merrick Garland as well as the DNC all know it. WHY ISN’T JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN IN JAIL MERRICK GARLAND??????? ANOTHER CIA/FBI COVER UP.
Hunter Biden sold classified documents to the Chinese and Garland/DoJ/DoD know it. Seems the whole Biden clan received money from them while TS/SCI was being passed right under their noses, supposably. Joey and that kid of his will be following Donnie T through the prison door once Merrick Garland admits it and has both Bidens arrested for treason, espionage and the mishandling of TS/SCI. Selling us right down the river to the Chinese. Patrick Chi-Ping is the key and he’s in federal custody.
Connect the dots.
Seriously, it’s NOT hard to connect.
Lost Classified documents found in Joe Bidens home and office. Going back decades. Let’s start with a real investigation into any criminal operations, activities and/or endeavors our current sitting President may have played a part in.
Did the Bidens pass TS/SCI to the Chinese and paying for Hunters partying, rent and other activities? Let’s start there then work our way down the Manchurian Chain gang. Garland already knows the answer.
There is proof that Hunter Biden exposed classified documents to unauthorized people who have connections to other countries intelligence agencies and breached national security. What exactly are the classifications of those documents found in Joes home????? If any of it is TS/SCI then this is a much bigger issue, a major national security breach and Merrick Garland and the rest of DC knows it.
Why isn’t the MSM asking these questions? Anyone?
How much of it did Hunter know about and who else has had access to the home. Did Patrick Ho Chi Ping ever gain access to these documents and pass them onto his Chinese intelligence friends? The reported rent Hunter was paying Joe is exorbitant and would be a way to pass money to ‘The Big Guy.”
Are our nation’s most closely guarded secrets going adrift from this Country’s Highest Office? Looks that way to me.
No Accountability in DC, Democrats undermining our country.

The impeachments against Pres. Trump were without basis. Trump blew the whistle on Quid Quo Pro Joe. Biden didn’t the crime and Trump took the fall. This was all Pelosi dictotorship.
Biden has so many reasons to be impeached. Quid QUO Pro, Hunters Labtap. mishandling Afghanistan, CONNECTIONS WITH China and his whole presidency has been a nightmare.
However, they need to take both Biden and Harris out. Harris has been every bit as incompetent as Biden. What has she done in the time she has been office besides nothing?
It’s not tit for tat. It’s removing two incompetent people who were falsely put into leadership positions that neither is prepared for and we are ALL paying the price.

I pray that Trump wins the election, if not we are in serious trouble. Its as if nobody is at the wheel, and the whole Republic is going down the Johnny flusher. I don’t believe most Americans realize how serious a dilemma we are in, and most really don’t care. Just hand out food stamps, unemployment, and $1200.00 chump change to buy the election, and illegally kick out the best President we have seen in a very long time. All I can do is vote and pray for the USA.

For those of us that were senior military officers and later, senior government executives and defense contractors, we all know the rules on Financial Disclosures that include family members, and the handling of classified materials and those responsible for their management.
Then VP Biden committed an impeachable if not criminal offense by accepting monies from a known, named Russian operative even before the Hunter laptop pay-to-play proxy crimes were committed and known to the FBI and AG.
Add the facts about classified material which no VP should have retained as only the POTUS who is the NISPOM can have, and Biden’s classified materials were distributed knowingly by his staff and/or him to those not cleared to see, store or use them. How did the FBI approve the publishing of pictures and unwrapping of double wrapped classified documents with the proper classified cover pages – who was responsible in the Obama and Trump administration for managing classified material? What was NARA’s involvement in both POTUS’ classified material? And why is Trump made the exception to the crime of publishing his personal tax records before assuming office under the existing PII laws?
But most criminally even above and over Hillary’s crimes as Senator, SoS and later candidate who spawning the false Trump Russian collusion, was VP Biden and POTUS Obama telling Comey to continue the FBI role in this false fiasco even after he told them it was completely without basis the day Trump was announced as POTUS-elect.
Time we uncover the complete conspiracy, now a coup reminiscent of the last time Democrats in 1932 tried to impose a Fascist government on Americans, but luckily thwarted by a retired Marine who mobilized We the People is protests in DC and elsewhere to expose these globalists and socialists aims.
Add the end of the rule of law under its roots, the Magna Carte as the NY AG and NYC DA using public tax monies for their own corrupt personal and political gain have no precedence as compared to Bill Clinton two rape cases and payoffs, and other sexual harassment that Hillary was fully aware of, but our press seems to have forgotten.
Most sad was the day the Free Press died when local newspapers went out of business as did TV stations bought up by powerful interests with fortunes gained by promoting their own and political views on us all. We have no free press, but propaganda compared to European news media still remaining open and free to debate.
I did not serve thru enlisted and officer ranks for 24 years across three continents in two wars to come home to another Democratic instigated civil war. Time we all read our past history on this once great party but is no more. Like those Confederate memorials and names on buildings and ships, and military bases, time we ban the party for good before we have no Republic at all.

Joe Biden and his son both should be put in jail for treason. Also AOC and MERRICK GARLAND should be fired. How can a person keep a job they don’t know how to do? If Donald Trump and his son would have pulled half of what the Biden’s have done (and they have proof of his underhanded deals with the CCP and Ukraine) they would be in jail for life. I look at it now like Demarcates are nothing but lying money grabbing scum that think all of the people in this country are stupid.

Everything they are saying Biden could be impeached for here Trump abused 10X worse than anything Biden has done. This includes his business dealings with Russia and China. They both literally own Trump.He has been a Criminal his entire life and his Army of Lawyers have kept him out of jail. If he was a Democrat these Maga’s would have lost their mind worse than they already have. Dem’s would have never Nominated this madman though.Just watch his interview with Hannity last week. He is nutz!

President Biden can’t help his medical condition. The jail birds should be the scum that’s really running the Government. ALL OF THEM. The swamp bugs are sending this country down the sewer. And the bums still keep getting elected, Try something new ; for instance, Listen to the honorable J.f. Kennedy of lousanna, as smart as the honorable Trey Gowdy and as unafraid.

Besides bring the worst president this country has ever had, he is an imbecile and an arrogant ass. He has destroyed the economy and sold out to the Chinese Government. He has failed as a leader and by ignoring the border crisis and his total failure in the Afghanistan withdraw and as a result is responsible for the deaths of military personnel and numerous deaths of our citizens due to fentanyl poisoning. In affect he is a traitor and should be treated as such.

Of course the Republicans must impeach Biden (there are ample enough reasons; mental incapacity, bribes from China, illegal use of the AG to go after political opponents, quid pro quo with Israel, etc.). And keep it going once the Senate votes to deny removal. Just keep the investigations going until Jan. 2025. That’s what the base wants, let them have it. Besides, many Republicans ran on their promise to impeach Biden. Time to get on with it.

that’s a lie–Trump didn’t have any business dealings with China, and he most certainly wasn’t bribed or otherwise influenced by his Russia dealings. Just as Mueller, $20million spent for nothing, when the entire Russian collusion story was just that, a fictional story made up by someone the Hillary Clinton campaign paid to lie to the FBI.
