House Republicans have done something historic, they have impeached a Cabinet Secretary for the first time since 1876. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached for a broad list of accusations, many legal experts say these accusations fall far short of actual criminal conduct. Sadly, the whole impeachment process has become a sham based purely on political theater. The US Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power to "impeach" or accuse government officials with "high crimes and misdemeanors", the Senate can then hold a trial to convict the accused of the said crimes, and vote to remove the guilty person from office. In the past two decades the impeachment process has become a political tool for the ruling party to basically harass the other party with a steady stream of specious accusations.
The Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for lying under oath. Republicans would attempt to impeach Barak Obama for a number of things, but they lacked the political muscle to move against him. The Democrats were desperate to avenge that slight so they impeached Donald Trump two separate times for accusations of conduct that was boorish or foolish, but in no way criminal. Now the Republicans have returned to power, and they are eager to impeach the Biden administration for all sorts of things. Joe Biden has been difficult to impeach, for a variety of factors, but they've managed to impeach Mayorkas, who is on the Biden team.
The Republicans and Democrats have both failed to perform their duties in a broad number of ways. This latest impeachment fiasco is but one example of the terrible corruption that plagues the American political system. Instead of working for the best interest of the nation, the two parties have chosen to attack each other and divide the nation, our of a desire to maintain political power at all cost. This political partisanship has become shameful, and has made the nation appear as banana republic to the rest of the world.
It is time that both parties were removed from power. They do not care about us or the nation, therefore we should elect people that will uphold the oath they swear to carry out the law and defend the Constitution.
