Three articles of impeachment have been filed against the United States President Joe Biden.
Accusing the sitting president of high crimes and misdemeanors, Ohio Rep. Bob Gibbs leads a group of Republican lawmakers in filing three articles of impeachment against Biden.
As the lawmakers argue, the 46th US President violated his oath on several occasions, whereas the three articles concern Biden’s handling of the border crisis, his ‘disastrous’ withdrawal from Afghanistan and alleged aiding and abetting of the enemy, and the evictions moratorium.
Joining Gibbs’ efforts to impeach the president are Reps. Brian Babin of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Randy Weber of Texas.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Gibbs explained how Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan pushed him to file impeachment articles against the president.
“Yesterday I filed three articles of impeachment against President Biden based on what I believe to be clear violations of his duties as president,” he told the publication.
“His willful negligence of the border crisis is a failure to maintain and defend American sovereignty.
“Biden’s attempts to extend a federal eviction moratorium despite the Supreme Court’s warning and his own admission that he has no power to do so is a blatant and intentional action that violates the separation of powers.”
The Republican representative for Ohio added:
“Finally, the withdrawal from Afghanistan was not just a disaster. By pulling military personnel out before the evacuation of American civilians, President Biden shamefully left our own citizens in danger.
“I don’t take this step lightly. Before the Afghanistan debacle, I urged my colleagues to consider a measured, thoughtful conversation on the merits of impeachment.”
Speaking of the filed articles of impeachment, Gibbs added that the president could also face an additional article over his Covid-19 vaccine mandate in the future.
Though the Republican acknowledged the fact that there is little chance to kick off impeachment proceedings in the Democrat-controlled House, he insisted that the documents serve as a warning to the administration.
“There are political dynamics in Congress I recognize will prevent this from ever being debated. But I could not stand by while President Biden commits what I believe to be flagrant and deliberate violations of his oath of office,” he added.
“When Republicans take back the House, we will take our commitment to the separation of powers, our role as a check and balance to the executive branch seriously. President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the entire administration is officially on notice.”
