U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer says a lot more happened than you might realize, when the Senate dismissed two articles of impeachment last week against U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The two articles were first passed in the House of Representatives in February. They charged Mayorkas with purposely ignoring federal immigration law and breaching public trust.
North Dakota Congressmen Kelly Armstrong was part of the party-line vote to impeach Mayorkas in the House. It was the second vote taken in the chamber, and it passed 214-213. At the time, Armstrong said, “Secretary Mayorkas has made a conscious choice to disregard federal law. For three years he has refused to secure the southern border. The House did our duty and impeached the worst cabinet secretary in our lifetime.”
