A group of House Republicans filed an indictment against President Biden on Tuesday, pointing to the commander-in-chief’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, his attempt to extend a federal moratorium on evictions and his handling of the crisis at the southern border.
Ohio Congressman Bob Gibbs introduced the articles, and Representatives Andy Biggs, Brian Babin and Randy Weber signed on as co-sponsors.
The move is symbolic at this point given that Democrats hold a majority in the lower house, but Gibbs said he takes it very seriously.
“It is clear that because Nancy Pelosi is Speaker, the House will not hold President Biden accountable for his flagrant violations of his constitutional duties. This should not stop Republicans from calling for criticism,” Gibbs wrote on his Facebook page.
“Despite his willful neglect of the border crisis, his willful actions regarding the illegal eviction moratorium, and his disgraceful behavior during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, it is clear that Biden is woefully failing to live up to his oath of office,” he added.
I filed articles of impeachment against @POTUS on the basis of what I consider to be a clear breach of his duties. There is a animated in Congress that makes discussion on this topic impossible. However, I could not passively watch as Biden blatantly and willfully violated his oath of office. https://t.co/LQilZulZpO

It is obvious that the President has not risen to the challenge, that his entire administration is willing to thumb its nose at the Constitution. Though the House of Pelosi won’t stand it @POTUS held accountable, it is the duty of House Republicans to condemn his flagrant violation of his oath of office https://t.co/lrQ3xZ75p3

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also filed an indictment against Biden, the first time shortly after he took office, and the second time last month.
