(TheRedWire.com) – In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Representative Lauren Boebert made a significant announcement, revealing that she had taken the initiative to introduce impeachment articles against President Biden. The basis for these articles stems from what Boebert perceives as the President’s failure to fulfill his “constitutional duty” to protect and secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Notably, she had already introduced similar impeachment articles during the previous Congress and now plans to reintroduce them in the current Congress, demonstrating her steadfast commitment to addressing this issue.
While Boebert initially hoped that other committees and leadership would take the lead on the impeachment proceedings, she expressed her concern that they might not take adequate action to address the President’s alleged negligence in securing the border and safeguarding the country. In light of this, she firmly declared that, if necessary, she would be compelled to bring forth the impeachment legislation through a privileged motion. This statement serves as a clear warning that if other entities fail to act, Boebert will step up and take decisive action to ensure that her concerns regarding border security are appropriately addressed.
Furthermore, Boebert took the opportunity during the interview to outline the impeachment process that would unfold should she move forward with the legislation. Referring to Rule IX in the House, she highlighted the possibility of bringing forth specific legislation through a privileged motion. This strategic move would involve Boebert personally reading out the articles of impeachment on the House floor, thereby initiating a process that grants House leadership a maximum of two days to respond. Their response would determine whether the articles are sent to a committee for further evaluation or whether they proceed to a vote on their own merits.
In a show of solidarity towards the impeachment cause, Representative Boebert cosponsored impeachment articles against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, introduced by Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles. By joining forces with Ogles, Boebert effectively demonstrates her unwavering commitment to constitutional principles and her willingness to support any articles that align with her goal of holding President Biden accountable.
In summary, Representative Lauren Boebert’s interview shed light on her decision to introduce impeachment articles against President Biden, specifically emphasizing his perceived failure to protect and secure the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite her initial hope for other committees and leadership to address the issue, Boebert expressed her readiness to take action through a privileged motion if necessary. She also outlined the impeachment process she would follow and underscored her support for other articles of impeachment that align with her constitutional concerns. Through her words and actions, Boebert remains steadfast in her commitment to upholding border security and ensuring accountability within the highest levels of government.
