'Should be removed': Democrats ramp up calls to impeach Education Secretary McMahon

Senate Democrats are ramping up calls to impeach Education Secretary Linda McMahon and for an inspector general's investigation over her efforts to dismantle the agency she leads.

She is the second Cabinet secretary that has become the subject of potential impeachment in as many days. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie on Tuesday introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"Secretary McMahon is unlawfully trying to eliminate the Department of Education, and in doing so, she's costing taxpayers untold amounts of money and other resources," Sen. Angela Alsobrooks said.

President Donald Trump campaigned on closing the Department of Education and tapped McMahon, 77, with putting herself out of a job. Just weeks into his second term he signed an executive order charging McMahon with returning educational authority to the states.

This is the Democrats strategy. To impeach all of Trumps cabinet if they get the majority in November.

Why not just submit an impeachment process that says Trump and whole staff?

The whole point of the Democratic Party is now to change the nation to a weak-President, strong-Council system where the House is the council.

The DSA Snowflake RATs hate smart women who do their jobs. They prefer the retarded Dazie Maizies the Mad Maxines, the Sandy Beach Cortezs and the Pramila Gorillas. U know. Brain dead foreigners and professional college student snowflake chimpanzees.

Why haven’t they impeached Randi Beirgarten yet? She’s the one who desperately needs impeaching.

With the failure of education in this nation, the Department of Education should have been long closed. Libs just want jobs and money which equal rewards for votes!

My only complaint with Linda is that she’s taking too long.

good grief,

yes, yes, we know Democrats would impeach everyone in the Trump administration and Trump also 1,000 times for just breathing.

But they will NEVER have the votes for removal.

So... MOVE ON

It the RATs want her gone, then she needs to stay. But she needs to finish her mandate. Close the department already.
