Demand Congress Cease its Unconstitutional Misuse of the Impeachment Power
Contrary to the foundational principles of constitutional democracy, the United States House of Representatives is seeking to impeach the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, over disagreements about immigration policy at the southern border. This effort is both unconstitutional and anti-constitutional.
The United States Constitution sets forth a strict threshold that must be met before Congress can seek to use its solemn impeachment powers. It is certainly not to be used to punish administrative officials simply because Congress disagrees over how they should do their job.
If impeachment is allowed to be weaponized as a political instrument, the disturbing result would be to help enable authoritarianism in future presidents, and to prevent presidents who adhere to the Constitution from functioning. We cannot let this happen.
