Lauren Boebert upheld her oath to defend the Constitution of the United States by solemnly introducing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.\n\nRep. Lauren Boebert stated: \u201cJoe Biden willfully abandoned his duty as President of the United States and violated his constitutional oath to \u2018take care that the laws be faithfully executed\u2019 by failing to ensure the national security of the United States and its citizens. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris handed over billions of dollars of American-made weapons to the very scum of the earth that we spent $2 trillion fighting. The Biden regime is not being held accountable. There have been no resignations, no indictments, no investigations, no congressional oversight, no outcry from the mainstream media, and no apologies\u2014so I\u2019m stepping up to hold Biden and Harris accountable by filing articles of impeachment for giving aid and comfort to America\u2019s enemies and colluding with the Taliban.\n\n\u201cAnd let me be clear, Vice President Harris is complicit in all of this. She can\u2019t hide as the incompetent Border czar, and she can\u2019t hide from her moral and legal duty to remove Joe Biden via the 25th Amendment due to his clear inability to \u2018discharge the powers and duties of his office.\u2019 Biden is supposed to be the commander-in-chief, but he forgot the name of the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, and the Secretary of Defense. His indecision, incompetence, and mental failings cost American lives, and Kamala had a duty to step up and remove Biden from office. She failed, and now 13 American servicemembers are dead. One way or another, Kamala needs to be impeached for her failure to step up and stop this avoidable catastrophe.\u201d\n\nCongressman Jody Hice said: \u201cThe President of the United States willingly abandoned American citizens behind enemy lines, and his incompetence and miscalculations contributed to the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers. As if that were not enough, he deserted thousands of Afghan allies to be slaughtered. Furthermore, as the Taliban strengthens their hold over Afghanistan, they\u2019ll be doing it with American military equipment thanks to Joe Biden. Afghanistan is well on its way to becoming a terrorist super state that will threaten the region, the world, and the American homeland for years to come, and the responsibility falls entirely on President Biden\u2019s shoulders. He has been woefully derelict in his most basic duties as President and he has proven himself incapable of leading our nation. He must be removed from office as quickly as possible.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nJoe Biden\u2019s collusion with the Afghan President to lie to the American people is a betrayal of public trust. Biden conspired with the Afghan President to \u201cwhether it is true or not\u2026project a different picture\u201d to \u201cchange perception.\u201d\n\nJoe Biden colluded with the Taliban, and he gave them a list of Americans being held in Afghanistan. Biden then failed to protect the people he exposed, and he failed to evacuate hundreds of Americans.\n\nFinally, Biden hastily ordered a drone strike that tragically killed 10 civilians, including 7 children.\n\nThroughout the Afghanistan withdrawal, Joe Biden demonstrated that he was not capable of executing his duties as president. Instead of leading the country, he took an extended vacation at Camp David. From the beginning of his administration, Biden has hidden the truth about his cognitive ability, and he refused to take a cognitive test like President Trump did.\n\nKamala Harris has a duty under the 25th Amendment to recognize Biden\u2019s cognitive decline and address whether he is capable of leading our country. She violated her oath of office by allowing Biden to remain in office even when he is clearly fumbling through basic functions, and his inability to execute the duties of his office fumbled America\u2019s withdrawal from Afghanistan.\n\nRep. Boebert has continually worked to hold the Biden administration accountable, and in June, she joined 23 of her colleagues in introducing a censure resolution against Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty in allowing the invasion on the southern border to go unchecked.\n\nReps. Andy Biggs, Jeff Duncan, Ralph Norman, Louie Gohmert, and Jody Hice co-sponsored Rep. Boebert\u2019s articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, and Rep. Ralph Norman also co-sponsored Rep. Boebert\u2019s articles of impeachment against Kamala Harris.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-lauren-boebert-introduces-articles-impeachment-against-joe-biden-and"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7049270682036877, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
