An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will “move forward,” members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.
“We’re gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem,” Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.
In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem “abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates,” “willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law” and “compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.”
There are so many things we can do with a simple majority, trying to attempt something that needs a supermajority just seems like it’s siphoning off political activism from constructive things to red herrings. Performative at best, active sabotage of initiatives that can produce results at worst.
I’m not sure what you thought you were responding to.
However, the reason we’re here is because Republicans spent the last several decades blocking anything that could have prevented this from happening, because almost anything of any substance requires a super majority. Because Congress is broken. This has ceded so much power to the executive and allowed extremists to take up a significant position in the legislature
