Joe Biden Risks Impeachment if Democrats Lose Both House and Senate
Newsweak ^ | 7/16/22 | Darragh Roche

Democrats could be facing major losses in this year's crucial midterm elections as Republicans aim to take back the House of Representatives and the Senate in November.

If President Joe Biden's party loses control of both chambers, he could end up facing impeachment after several Republicans indicated that GOP majorities would move in that direction.

In January, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said there would be "multiple grounds" for impeaching Biden, while in April, Republican Representative Ken Buck told a virtual meeting that the House Judiciary Committee would "hold the hearings to determine whether impeachment is appropriate. We'll vote on impeachment. And then it will be presented to the full House."

A University of Massachusetts Amherst poll published in May found that 68 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of conservatives wanted Biden to be impeached if Republicans take the House, while 53 percent of Republicans believed a GOP-led House would impeach him.

Articles of impeachment can be passed by a simple majority vote in the House but a president can only be removed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate. This has never happened and it appears unlikely Republicans will have the necessary number of seats in 2023.

Oh, I think Obama likes playing with the puppet strings.

And co-authoring the teleprompter.

Yeah like the democratic house would begin impeachment hearings. That’s more in line with what republicans would do to one of our republican presidents. Keep in mind that trump is the only president in history to get same party votes in the house and senate. Democrats would never be so disrespectful towards their own.

Impeachment only requires the House. Of course if The Big Guy *is* impeached he won't be removed from office...not even close.

Very likely. Kommie Harris will serve for a while with Buttplug as the VP. Then the ‘24 ticket will be Buttplug and Stacey Abrahams.
