John Kennedy (R-LA) confirmed that the impeachment articles would reach the upper chamber on Monday after Republican senators pushed for a later trial. That push came as some Democratic lawmakers have indicated they would vote to table the impeachment articles, avoiding a trial altogether. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speaker, we asked him to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-targets-millions-of-americans-with-vaccine-threat-but-not-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Biden Targets Millions Of Americans With Vaccine Threat, But Not Illegal Immigrants\">delay sending<\/a> over the articles until Monday to at least give us a full week,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see if [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer honors the extra time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move comes after the House impeached Mayorkas in February by a 214-213 vote on charges that he failed to enforce U.S. immigration law. The lower chamber was first expected to deliver the articles by the end of February, but Republicans later indicated they would wait until after Congress averted a partial government shutdown later that month. <\/p>\n<p>The Democratic-controlled Senate has floated the idea of tabling the articles, which has not been done in more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-senate-impeachment-trial-to-be-delayed-amid-shutdown-frenzy\/\" title=\"Mayorkas Senate impeachment trial postponed due to shutdown frenzy\">20 impeachment hearings<\/a> 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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-sen-mike-braun-plans-to-use-congressional-review-act-to-nullify-biden-vaccine-mandate\/\" title=\"Exclusive: Sen.
