"House Impeaches Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, What's Next?"

Republican members of the House have impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, triggering a series of rituals that date back to the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson in 1868. The articles of impeachment will be delivered to the Senate, which will then schedule a trial to consider evidence, hear witnesses, and ultimately vote to acquit or convict Mayorkas. The House speaker will name impeachment managers to serve as the prosecution team in the Senate trial.

"House Republicans' Failed Impeachment Attempt Against Alejandro Mayorkas: Live Updates and Reactions"

The House failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border issues, marking the first failed impeachment vote for a Cabinet member in almost 150 years. Legal experts argued that the investigation was a policy dispute rather than evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors." Meanwhile, a $118 billion Senate package addressing border measures and funding for Ukraine and Israel is on the verge of collapse, with Republican senators expressing reluctance to move forward despite the bill's bipartisan nature.
