Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
After weeks of hints and veiled suggestions, the California Republican took the plunge in a brief statement to the press that there were "serious and credible allegations into President Biden's conduct" that "taken together" necessitated further investigation.
Impeachment by the House of Representatives is the first step in a formal process to remove a president - or other senior executive or judicial official - from office. It requires a simple majority vote in the chamber to trigger a trial in the US Senate, where a two-thirds majority is necessary for conviction and removal.
President Donald Trump was impeached twice when Democrats controlled the House - over Ukraine in 2019 and the January 6 Capitol riot in 2021 - but was acquitted by the Senate on both occasions.

Because he is a criminal who is illegally letting millions of illegal aliens in our Country… that will eventually bankrupt our Country. Listen to our Democratic Mayors who are crying for funding because they can’t provide for everyone.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel to distract from 45 & the upcoming budget.
..."The Biden team was quick to push back against Mr McCarthy's impeachment announcement.
"House Republicans have been investigating the President for nine months, and they've turned up no evidence of wrongdoing," White House spokesperson Ian Sams wrote in a social media post.
Only three US presidents have been impeached - Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998 and Donald Trump twice. None was convicted by the Senate.
Democrats currently have a 51-49 majority in the Senate, virtually ensuring that any Biden impeachment referral from the House will meet a similar fate."

Republicans are a bunch of do-nothings as usual. They are literally wasting oxygen every day.
