House Republicans on Tuesday rammed through the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, marking a historic moment exactly a week after an embarrassing failure.House Majority Leader Steve Scalise's return to Washington provided the GOP majority the final vote needed to impeach Mayorkas on charges that he has not enforced the nation's immigration laws. The final vote was 214 to 213.Three Republicans, Rep.
Belknap, who resigned just before his impeachment, was accused of accepting bribes.Mayorkas is not expected to be removed from office. Multiple Republican senators have cast doubt on the case against the Homeland Security secretary, meaning there are nowhere near the 67 votes needed to convict him. Technically speaking, every senator is now a potential juror in the trial against Mayorkas, though senators aren't bound by the typical restraints imposed on everyday juries.
