This decision comes as Republicans push to expedite the process and address concerns regarding the Biden family&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-calls-travel-lid-for-wednesday-an-hour-after-bobulinski-interview-airs\/\" title=\"Biden Calls Travel Lid for Wednesday an Hour After Bobulinski Interview Airs\">foreign business dealings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTo open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter,\u2064 and House Republicans would not take it \u2063lightly or use it \u2064for political purposes. The American people deserve \u200cto be\u200b heard on this matter through their elected representatives,\u201d\u200d McCarthy told Breitbart \u2064in an interview on Friday. \u201cThat\u2019s why, \u2062if we\u2062 move \u2062forward with\u200b an impeachment inquiry, it would \u2063occur through a vote on the floor\u200d of the People\u2019s House \u200dand not through a declaration by one\u2062 person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, there \u2063are six pending impeachment resolutions against President Biden from House Republicans. Talks of opening an inquiry in September have gained momentum as GOP members accuse Biden of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-mccarthy-discusses-impeaching-joe-biden-and-describes-route-gop-would-take\/\" title=\"Kevin McCarthy talks about GOP's plan to impeach Joe Biden\">withholding requested documents related<\/a> to the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>There have\u200b been discussions about whether McCarthy would \u200dfollow traditional impeachment proceedings in the case \u200bof Biden. While there is no constitutional rule requiring a floor vote to initiate an impeachment inquiry, Republicans could \u200bhave introduced an\u200b article of impeachment directly on the floor. However, McCarthy has stated \u200bthat the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-leaked-dhs-document-reveals-bidens-mass-migration-plan-offers-broadscale-release-mechanisms\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Leaked DHS Document Reveals Biden\u2019s Mass-Migration Plan Offers \u2018Broadscale Release Mechanisms\u2019\">traditional process<\/a> will be followed.<\/p>\n<p>The only\u2064 instance where the floor vote to\u200c open \u2063an inquiry was skipped was by House\u200d Democrats \u2062in \u200c2021, \u200bduring the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. Democrats did introduce an impeachment inquiry during Trump&#8217;s first impeachment in 2019, both of which resulted in acquittal by the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>If House Republicans\u200b proceed with the impeachment trial, they will need 218 votes\u2062 to move it to the Senate. Removal of President Biden would require a two-thirds vote in the upper chamber, as outlined in the Constitution.<\/p>\n<h3>Read \u2062more:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">The Washington \u200cExaminer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>people deserve a fair and thorough investigation,&#8221; McCarthy stated.
