McCarthy still contemplating Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden

Speaker McCarthy Defines Procedure to Open Impeachment Inquiry Into Biden

Kevin McCarthy has clarified that if House Republicans decide to pursue an impeachment inquiry into Democratic President Joe Biden, it would require a formal vote on the House floor. McCarthy emphasized the seriousness of such a move, stating that it would not be taken lightly or used for political purposes.

Instead, the decision would be made through a vote involving all House members, ensuring that the American people’s voices are heard through their elected representatives.

Opening a formal impeachment inquiry would necessitate a majority vote with at least 218 members supporting the move, assuming full attendance in the House. While such a vote doesn’t equate to impeaching the president, it represents a significant step towards that possibility.

It would also grant the House extensive investigative and law enforcement powers, enabling them to compel testimony, enforce subpoenas, and delve into President Biden’s conduct and any alleged corruption within his administration.
