Four House Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.
Rep. Bob Gibbs of Ohio tweeted Wednesday “I filed articles of impeachment against @POTUS based on what I believe to be clear violations of his duties. There are dynamics in Congress preventing this from being debated. But I could not stand by while Biden commits flagrant & deliberate violations of his oath of office”.
Gibbs said he believes Biden’s handling of the border crisis and attempts to extend the federal eviction moratorium show a failure to carry out his presidential duties.
He noted that the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the death of 13 U.S. service members, was also a major reason to seek impeachment.
The other three house members are Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona and Reps. Brian Babin and Randy Weber of Texas.
Gibbs admitted in an interview with the Washington Examine that the impeachment is unlikely to happen. He said “Obviously, it’s not going to go anywhere with Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi”, but added that “It shows that there are some Republicans that think that this president needs to be impeached, he needs to be removed from office one way or another”.
Rep. Biggs said “This president has endangered this country willfully violating his oath of office but also violated statutes and ignored statutes and instructed his team to do the same”.
Others have recently introduced articles of impeachment against Biden and Harris. Colorado representative Lauren Boebert said the administration has failed “to ensure the national security of the United States and its citizens”. Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has also repeatedly pushed for Biden’s impeachment.
As Biden’s presidency continues, his approval ratings are dropping. He had a 49%-48% approval/disapproval rating in August, according to Gallup. He currently holds a 43% approval and 53% disapproval.
