GOP senator says Biden can’t be impeached for pre-presidential actions

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) is warning House Republicans that President Biden could not be impeached and removed from office for any conduct or crimes committed before he was elected president in 2020.

Mullin’s statement in an interview with Newsmax pours cold water on a House GOP investigation into Biden’s family’s business dealings, particularly Hunter Biden’s work with foreign companies, while Biden was vice president during the Obama administration and immediately after.

“If they send us a case, make sure it’s convictable,” Mullin advised. “The bar’s real high, there’s no question about it.”

Many Senate Republicans, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), voted to acquit former President Trump on the impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection against the United States on Jan. 6, 2021, on the technical grounds that he was no longer in office once the Senate tried him in February of that year.

The Biden family crimes are actual felonies.

I give up. The corrupt Democrats get away with EVERYTHING.

Impeachment is what the House says it is.
High Crimes and misdemeanors are what the House says it is.
Nothing in the constituion says the bad acts must have happened while in office.

Article I, Section 2, Clause 5:
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

That's it.

Section 4 Impeachment The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

doesn't say when.

House ran roughshod over Pres. Trump twice...and they had that right.

...Article I, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7 provide: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside:...

The senate should have rejected the 2nd trial, as the constitution requires the CJ to preside instead Roberts bailed.

Will this House impeach or cave ?
