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.

The Democrats will push him out before then.
The thing is impeachment gets us Kamala, or possibly Pelosi.
Nightmare no matter what.
They don’t seem to list any reasons. Just the process.
HA!
Not unless medical science perfects testicular and spinal transplants for the Republicans in the House and Senate.
Impeachment for threatening democrats not for stealing the White House and subsequently ruining the country
That is who runs this country
He should be defecating in his diapers at what could be looming. Wait, he already is :) As long as he gets the same treatment as J6 prisoners I will only be halfway PO’ed.
Republicans will never impeach him — under any circumstances.
They have no principles, convictions or courage.
"Impeachment" without conviction is just, you should pardon the expression, jerking off.
And the idea that there will be 67 votes in the Senate to remove Biden is just so absurd - how could a person called "Darragh Roche" even write such a thing?
After losing Pennsylvania, I don't even see how the GOP will control the Senate next year. If they do control the Senate, I suppose 52-48 could be possible.
But remove Biden? Tell me another one.
This "Well Duh!" moment brought to you by the editors and journalists of Newsweak.
That’s a not a good reason to not impeach the clown pervert.
Whole bunch of morons in the R Party too.........
Two-thirds vote of Senate to convict.
If GOP should get 55 seats, 12 Dems would have to join them. Today’s Dems? Ain’t happenin’.
Yes, there are plenty of real reasons to impeach.
Well no, Pelosi would no longer be speaker at that point.
They’re not going to have 2/3 Senate no matter what.
Sounds like they want to waste time on empty gestures.
Yes thank you.
When you are going through Hell, keep going. There may be worse obstacles up ahead, but forge on anyway, and with enough perseverance and stamina, you will come out the other side. Even “Que mala” cannot be much worse than whatever we are dealing with now.
She will find the job too challenging and resign in her own right. The same for any Democrat that attempts to follow her, until they run through the whole line of succession.
Not one adult in the bunch. Democrat Socialists do not know how to govern.
>>The thing is impeachment gets us Kamala, or possibly Pelosi.
Right now, sure, but not if the GOP takes the House. Then you COULD impeach Kamala AND Biden.... This whole thing is a fantasy though, the GOP will NOT have a 2/3rds majority of actual conservatives in the Senate to do this.
