"House Republicans' Impeachment Vote Chaos Reveals Dysfunction"

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans' attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border crisis failed in a 214-216 vote, with three GOP lawmakers breaking ranks and voting against the measure. Reps. Tom McClintock, Ken Buck, and Mike Gallagher opposed the impeachment, citing concerns about setting a dangerous precedent and the constitutional threshold for impeachment. The defeat marks a significant blow for House Republicans, who had pushed for Mayorkas' impeachment for over a year, while Democrats and the Department of Homeland Security dismissed the effort as politically motivated and lacking constitutional basis.
