Mayorkas Impeachment on Life Support: Senate's Stalling Tactics Revealed
Throughout its extensive history, the US Senate has never once dismissed impeachment charges against an official within its jurisdiction without the individual resigning beforehand.
Schumer is likely to attempt to either dismiss the charges against Mayorkas outright or relegate them to a committee, effectively halting the process.
A vote to dismiss the charges requires only a simple majority, as the filibuster is not in play on impeachment matters.
It’s been nearly 2 months since the House voted to impeach Mayorkas and a hearing has not been scheduled.
Friends, The failure of the Senate to act on the impeachment charges against Mayorkas is a blatant disregard for procedural standards and accountability.
Schumer's attempted dismissal or relegation of the charges is a slap in the face to the American people who expect their representatives to uphold the rule of law.
The Democrats' fear of a Mayorkas impeachment hearing speaks volumes about their awareness of the political disaster it would entail, especially amidst Biden's dismal two-thirds disapproval ratings on border security.
Senator John Kennedy's appeal for action highlights the frustrating inaction of the Senate, which continues to ignore its responsibility to the citizens it serves. The House hearings have laid bare the lawlessness of the DHS Administration which is having a deadly, devasting impact on our country, yet the Senate remains inert.
It's time for the American people to demand accountability from their elected officials and compel the Senate to fulfill its duty.
We cannot afford to let partisan politics obstruct justice and endanger our nation's security any longer.
What is abundantly clear is that the Senate will not ACT unless We the People hold their feet to the fire and force them to ACT.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has led his colleagues calling for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to demand a Senate trial for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, noting the Senate's constitutional responsibility to conduct a thorough trial following the House's impeachment articles.
“The Senate failed miserably to ensure our southern border was secured before sending Ukraine billions in American tax dollars,” said Sen. Mike Lee. “We cannot fail to uphold our constitutional duty and conduct an impeachment trial for Secretary Mayorkas, who has ignored his duty to protect our country. Chuck Schumer is trying to sweep this travesty under the rug by violating the Constitution and foregoing a trial. Republican leadership cannot stand idly by and let him.”
The letter was signed by Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rick Scott (R-FL), Ron Johnson (R-WI), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Mike Braun (R-IN), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
2-20-24, Dear Leader McConnell,
Our Republican colleagues in the House have recently passed two articles of impeachment
against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for willful and
systemic refusal to comply with the law, as well as the breach of public trust. Those articles will
soon be transmitted to the Senate. It is imperative that the Senate Republican conference prepare
to fully engage our Constitutional duty and hold a trial.
According to multiple briefings by your staff, Majority Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats
intend to dispense with the articles of impeachment by simply tabling both individually. This is
an action rarely contemplated and never taken by the U.S. Senate in the history of our Republic.
It remains to be seen if the Senate rules will even allow us to brush aside our duty in this manner,
but one thing is sure, if a similar strategy was contemplated by Senate Republicans when we
were in the majority with a Republican occupying the White House, the opposition would be
fierce and the volume from Democrats would be deafening.
We call on you to join us in our efforts to jettison this approach by Democrats to shirk their
Constitutional duty, ensure that the Senate conducts a proper trial, and that every Senator,
Republican and Democrat, adjudicates this matter when the Senate returns.
