The lower chamber was expected to deliver the articles across the U.S. Capitol by the end of February, but Republicans later indicated they would wait until after Congress averted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-pelosi-blames-president-trump-climate-change-for-migrant-surge\/\" title=\"Nancy Pelosi blames President Trump, \u2018climate change\u2019 for migrant surge\">partial government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the House Republicans, timing the delivery to lawmakers\u2019 return from a two-week recess, demanded the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rubio-suggests-senate-republicans-should-consider-ousting-mcconnell-from-leadership\/\" title=\"Rubio Suggests Senate Republicans Should Consider Ousting McConnell From Leadership\">upper chamber follow<\/a> through with a trial as Democratic leadership contemplates quashing them shortly after they are transmitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call upon you to fulfill your constitutional obligation to hold this trial,\u201d the lawmakers wrote. \u201cThe American people demand a secure border, an end to this crisis, and accountability for those responsible. To table articles of impeachment without ever hearing a single argument or reviewing a piece of evidence would be a violation of our constitutional order and an affront to the American people whom we all serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate procedures dictate that the upper chamber meet the day after articles have been delivered. Senators would then be sworn in as jurors, and an impeachment trial would follow, with representatives serving as the prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic-controlled Senate has floated the idea of tabling the articles, which has not been done in more than 20 impeachment hearings in the body\u2019s history. It could also move to launch a trial committee and refer the articles to that panel.<\/p>\n<p>To move on tabling the measure, Democrats would only need a simple, 51-vote majority. However, it would require that all Democrats vote straight party-line and do not defect.<\/p>\n<p>The House impeached Mayorkas on charges of refusing to enforce the law and a breach of public trust. More than 8 million non-U.S. citizens have been encountered attempting to enter the United States in the three years since President Joe Biden took office \u2014 the highest figure in any three-year period.<\/p>\n<p>The letter signers included House Foreign Affairs Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX), House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), Reps.
