Republican U.S. senators are sounding the alarm over a purported plan by Senate Democrats to dismiss House impeachment charges against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Schumer has called Mayorkas' impeachment a sham and political ploy.
While Schumer has said there would be a trial and the matter would be resolved quickly, now he plans to table the impeachment trial using a Senate procedural move that needs only two Democrats to second it, they said.
Kennedy filed Senate Resolution 623 to establish fair and efficient trial procedures for impeachment "According to longstanding Senate precedent." He also said Senate Democrats were "Going to try to take the articles of impeachment" the House passed with a majority vote "And toss them into the trash without hearing from either side."They don't want to let the House impeachment managers make their case.
" Kennedy said the Senate "has never in its history tabled an impeachment.
If the Senate dismisses these charges without a trial, it will be the first time in the Senate's long history that it has dismissed impeachment charges against an official it has jurisdiction over without that official first resigning - and that's a fact.
" Marshall said regardless of when they receive the articles, Schumer "still plans on halting the process to stop an impeachment trial," which is "significant" because "it would only take two Democrats to deny tabling this process in order to proceed with an impeachment trial.
