Should Joe Biden Be Impeached?

My VIPs for this week are the House Republicans who conducted their investigation into the Biden family corruption. According to Gitanjali Poonia, staff writer at the Deseret News, House Republicans released today their nearly 300-page impeachment inquiry report against President Joe Biden that alleges that Biden “engaged in impeachment conduct” during his time as vice president. 

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy ordered the investigation, and it was conducted by three House committees – Committee on Oversight and Accountability, Committee on Judiciary, and Committee on Ways and Means. The three committees “gathered evidence that suggests Biden ignored conflicts of interest. His family members, including his son and brother, used Biden’s position in the White House as leverage for business dealings in Ukraine, China and other countries, Republican lawmakers allege.”

The president’s son, Hunter Biden, who faces tax and firearm possession-related charges, received “special treatment” from the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the report says.

Both President Biden and his son have maintained they are innocent.

The report states, “The Constitution’s remedy for a President’s flagrant abuse of office is clear: impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal by the Senate.”

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the report “conclusively” found Biden abused his time in office for the financial benefit of his family and friends.

“The facts speak for themselves, and Democrats can no longer stretch the truth to cover for President Biden,” said Jordan.

Amid the Democratic National Convention this week, where Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to earn the Democratic presidential nomination, Jordan said, “Americans should remember the reality of the Biden-Harris administration: crime, chaos, and corruption.”

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the Oversight Committee, said the GOP’s efforts “exposed the truth” about Biden….

According to The Associated Press, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said, “We encourage all Americans to read this report,” but refrained from signaling the Republican Conference’s plans for impeachment. It’s unclear if the GOP leadership has enough votes to pass articles of impeachment with a small Republican majority in the House. Biden’s removal would also depend on the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The White House reacted with their own view of what happened, and House Democrats countered with a 72-page memo claiming that the Republicans cannot prove that Biden committed “any wrongdoing, let alone any high crime, misdemeanor, or other impeachable offense.”

I do not believe that Joe Biden should be impeached. His “corruption” took place while he was vice president, not POTUS. In addition, he is an old man who is senile and cannot help in his own defense. Everyone knows that he is not in charge of the government currently. Therefore, we do not need to worry about what he might do to the country. Besides, we are in the midst of a close presidential election, and an impeachment vote may swing the election to the Democrats.
