Senate Dismisses Impeachment Articles Against Mayorkas as Unconstitutional

Apr 17, 2024, 08:26 PM

The U.S. Senate has dismissed both articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, deeming them unconstitutional. The first article was dismissed with a vote of 51-48-1, with Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voting 'present'. The second article was dismissed by a vote of 51-49. This decision effectively ends the GOP-led efforts to oust Mayorkas, marking a significant defeat for the Republican push against the Biden administration's border policies.
