Alejandro Mayorkas avoids impeachment as House Republicans fail to muster votes​


Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas testifies during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on threats to the homeland, Oct. 31, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. As Republicans in the House of Representatives threaten to make Mayorkas the first Cabinet official impeached in nearly 150 years, Mayorkas says, in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, he is “totally focused on the work" that his agency of 260,000 people conducts and not distracted by the politics of impeachment.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas escaped history Tuesday after House Republicans fell short in their attempt to impeach him, failing to muster enough support within their own ranks.

GOP leaders had hoped to make him the first sitting Cabinet secretary ever to be impeached, but they fell short.

Four Republicans joined with Democrats in sinking the effort, one of whom changed his vote at the last minute.

Republicans preserved a chance to take a revote later, but the failure marked a major blow to Republicans who had insisted they would succeed.

Ultra MAGA!
Scalice was out for cancer treatments today, a couple of R's had to vote NO in order to bring it up next week. If it was a tie vote it would die and not able to be brought up again. Only those that vote with the majority can bring it up again for consideration.

Here Are The Four Republicans Who Voted Against Impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas

The House vote to impeach DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas failed in a tie vote Tuesday, with four Republicans voting with Democrats.
dailycaller.com dailycaller.com

The U.S. House vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed narrowly on Tuesday, with four Republicans voting with Democrats.


In a 214-216 vote, the House failed to take up the resolution to impeach Mayorkas. There were four Republican “No” votes: California Rep. Tom McClintock, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher and Utah Rep. Blake Moore.

​
“Secretary Mayorkas will be remembered as the worst Secretary of Homeland Security in history. While inexcusable, this incompetence is not constitutional grounds for an impeachment,” Buck tweeted Monday.

The resolution was originally introduced by Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. (RELATED: House Vote To Impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Fails)


In November, the House voted 209-201 to refer articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to committee, with eight Republicans voting with Democrats to prevent a full House vote on the resolution.

Greene then reintroduced the resolution to impeach Mayorkas later in November. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Jim Jordan Suggests Mayorkas May Have Perjured Himself In New Letter To DHS)

The 3 no votes against impeaching Mayorkas were:

Mike Gallagher (WI-08)
Tom McClintock (CA-05)
Ken Buck (CO-04)

Blake Moore changed his vote no when asked by leadership for procedural reasons to make a motion to reconsider so that we can vote on impeachment again next week. We look forward to Leader Steve Scalise returning to vote yes and officially impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

Doesn’t really matter. It would’ve been dead in the Senate but even if it was successful, Biden would have appointed someone just as bad or worse but it would’ve sent a message anyway. You can never trust the uni-party.

The vile democrats vote in lock step when voting to impeach President Trump. And the vile republicans can’t muster enough votes to vote this bozo out. So much corruption… it’s the only explanation to understand how this works.

Just like Michael Yon said, Mayorkas was/is part of HIAS, the organization in the Darien Gap that is helping with the invasion.

But the good thing appears to be that since there was not a tie - the Impeachment Bill can be brought up AGAIN by those who initially proposed it.

We're not done yet.

Bannon said it: "Emmer (House Majority Whip) needs to go out there and whip some votes."

The additional time makes this more a probability. The Pundits are already scoping out the re-election weaknesses of those who might turn either way.

Incompetence? No one incompetent can be part of a manufactured invasion of this nature or scope.

It's intentional. The world knows this, those in government know this, those in the streets know this. Incompetence would not allow a bus or plane anywhere they want to go, let alone credit cards that get loaded monthly....

Buck know this, time for him to be impeached...just hang em all for treason, cut to the chase.

Maybe the entire Dept of Homeland Security was a set up from the beginning. Created so those destroying America could control it to their advantage.

I was really surprised to discover that Ken Buck (R-Ft Collins, I think?) voted against Mayorka's impeachment. I actually voted for him a couple times when I worked and lived in Denver - once for governor and once for senator, as I recall. He was too conservative for Front Range republikrats, though, and didn't run good campaigns. The media always had him on him off balance.

It's still disappointing. Maybe he's setting his sights on another statewide election campaign, I dunno.
