Good idea? Bad idea? Obviously, this will go nowhere with a Democratic Party majority in the House, and won’t even be debated, much less voted on. Will any other Republicans have the cajones to back her, considering the way Trump was treated by the Democrats for four years? Will Republicans #Resist? I guess we’ll see
Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced on Wednesday that she would be filing articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on the first full day of his presidency.
Greene made the announcement during an interview on NewsmaxTV.
“I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies,” said Greene.
“So on January 21st, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden,” she added.
The question here is, can Joe be impeached for things that happened when not in current office, and voted out of office? Could he be impeached and booted for things he did while Vice President and/or as a private citizen? There really isn’t an answer to that, not Constitutionally or any law. Article II Section 4 doesn’t say when “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” had to have occurred.
“On January 21, 2021, I’ll be filing Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden for abuse of power,” she tweeted.
When TheBlaze reached out to Greene’s office to clarify her motivation for filing impeachment articles, her spokesperson offered the following response:
Rep. Greene simply wants to be a voice for the voiceless. American conservatives have been banned, censored, deplatformed and physically attacked. Unfortunately that removes hope from the people. Congresswoman Greene wants to defend these Americans and represent the Silent Majority.
We all know Democrats will not play nice. Unity? Pffft. They say they’re trying to unify while stabbing Republicans/Conservatives in the back. They’ll complain that Republicans are not playing along with #Unity for refusing to back far left crazy legislation and Biden admin rules/regs. They are very much sore winners.
