Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2064 (R-GA) threatens to\u2063 push a vote on impeaching President Joe\u2064 Biden if House GOP leaders delay action on charging him with\u2062 high crimes. Greene emphasizes the urgency of holding Biden accountable for the border\u2062 crisis and challenges House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-says-bowman-should-endure-same-fate-as-january-6-prisoners\/\" title=\"Trump urges Bowman to face the same consequences as January 6 prisoners.\">decisive legislative action<\/a>. Johnson advocates for letting the impeachment inquiry process unfold. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) warns of an impeachment vote \u200dagainst President Joe Biden if House GOP \u2063leaders stall on pressing \u2064charges against him. Greene stresses the need \u200cto address Biden&#8217;s\u2064 role in the\u200b border crisis and urges House \u2064Speaker Mike Johnson\u200d (R-LA) to act decisively.

Cuomo Shunned Experts, Embraced Lobbyists, Drove Top Health Officials To Quit Over Pandemic Response: Report\">closed-door meeting<\/a> with GOP leaders on Tuesday, Greene pressed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2437492\/mtg-takes-swipe-at-speaker-johnson-over-slowed-pace-of-biden-impeachment-proceedings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>move forward with efforts<\/a> to hold Biden accountable for the border crisis, telling lawmakers she would consider a privileged resolution on her own if he did not. Doing so would allow Greene to force leadership to schedule a vote on her articles of impeachment within two legislative days. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told the speaker that all the things he\u2019s promising like legislative action to stop this weaponized government and the war against our party, I told him that none of it means anything unless he\u2019s willing to pay for it,\u201d Greene said. \u201cUnless he\u2019s willing to go and fight for legislative action that we actually take and pass in the House, it means nothing. And that\u2019s how the people see it. They\u2019re sick of the empty promises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear when Greene could move forward with a privileged resolution to impeach Biden, although the Georgia Republican told reporters on Tuesday that she and her staff members plan to meet with Johnson\u2019s office as early as this week. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson said he hasn\u2019t spoken with Greene about her efforts but argued lawmakers should allow the impeachment inquiry being led by the House Oversight Committee to dictate a path forward.\u00a0That inquiry focuses on three main things, all of which relate to Hunter Biden: whether Joe Biden improperly used his position of power to enrich himself and his family, whether he used his influence to pressure the Department of Justice to help his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-judiciary-demands-fbi-provide-newly-uncovered-form-related-to-hunter-biden\/\" title=\"House Judiciary demands FBI provide new form related to Hunter Biden\">son avoid criminal charges<\/a>, and how involved he was in his family\u2019s foreign business dealings.<\/p>\n<p>That inquiry, Johnson said, could uncover \u201cimpeachable offenses,\u201d but he noted he did not want to get ahead of the committee\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think President Biden is the worst president in the history of the country,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThere\u2019s investigation processes going about \u2026 and the process continues. So, I\u2019m not committing to anything on that this morning. We have to let the constitutional process and our constitutional responsibilities play out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Greene\u2019s resolution would focus more on Joe Biden\u2019s border policies, which would likely present more narrow charges against the president. She filed articles of impeachment a year ago against the president for the border crisis and \u201cendangering the security of the United States.\u201d The new resolution Greene would put forward would align with articles she authored against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas\u00a0last year that accused the Biden administration official of mishandling the situation at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>The threat comes as Joe Biden prepares to sign an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-ca-gov-overstepped-his-authority-with-covid-order-issues-permanent-injunction-restraining-newsom-from-further-issuing-unconstitutional-orders\/\" title=\"Judge Rules CA Gov Overstepped His Authority with Covid Order, Issues Permanent Injunction Restraining Newsom From Further Issuing Unconstitutional Orders\">executive order<\/a> on Tuesday that would shut down asylum requests at the southern border once the seven-day average of migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents between the ports of entry is above 2,500 arrests per day. The ban would be walked back once the average dropped to below 1,500 apprehensions daily, according to administration officials.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have criticized the plan as being too little, too late, accusing the Biden administration of intentionally opening the border to cause a crisis. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did it intentionally. They engineered the open border. There\u2019s no question about it. The evidence is so clear,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cNow he wants to issue some weak executive order \u2014 one, by the way. One executive order supposedly to try to address the issue. It\u2019s window dressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear how soon Greene could call a possible privileged resolution to the floor, as the House is scheduled to adjourn for a weekend recess on Wednesday afternoon and not return until Tuesday. However, even if it is brought forward, GOP leadership could move to table the legislation as it did last summer when Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) forced a vote on similar articles of impeachment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Greene has threatened to go rogue and buck party leaders to advance her own measure.
