1 United States, in maintenance and support of its impeach-
2 ment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
3 ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER
4 The Constitution provides that the House of Rep-

5 resentatives ‘‘shall have the sole Power of Impeachment’’
6 and that the President of the United States ‘‘shall be re-
7 moved from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction
8 of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Mis-
9 demeanors’’. In his conduct as President of the United
10 States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faith-
11 fully to execute the office of the President of the United
12 States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect,
13 and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in
14 violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the
15 laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has
16 abused the powers of the office of the President of the
17 United States, in that:
18 Using the powers of his high office, President Biden
19 has knowingly presided over an executive branch that has
20 continuously, overtly, and consistently violated Federal
21 immigration law by pursuing an aggressive, open-borders
22 agenda by purposefully and knowingly releasing more than
23 2,000,000 illegal aliens into the interior of the United
24 States without the intention or ability to ensure that they
25 appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation
26 proceedings.

1 President Biden has intentionally facilitated a com-
2 plete and total invasion at the southern border. President
3 Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocols to require
4 aliens seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while being
5 processed by the Department of Homeland Security.
6 President Biden has closed Department of Homeland Se-
7 curity detention facilities and refused to cooperate with
8 State and local law enforcement officials in securing the
9 border. He has allowed illegal aliens to enter the United
10 States as asylum seekers despite knowing they did not
11 qualify for asylum. President Biden has pursued this
12 open-border agenda purposefully and willfully, circum-
13 venting every safeguard, check, and balance required by
14 law, resulting in mass illegal immigration into the United
15 States, to the detriment of the American people.
16 President Biden, with such conduct, has dem-
17 onstrated a failure to uphold Federal immigration law,
18 violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain
19 in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible
20 with the rule of law and to the manifest injury of the peo-
21 ple of the United States.
22 Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, war-
23 rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis-
24 qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust,
25 or profit under the United States.

1 ARTICLE II: DERELICTION OF DUTY
2 The Constitution provides that the House of Rep-

3 resentatives ‘‘shall have the sole Power of Impeachment’’
4 and that the President of the United States ‘‘shall be re-
5 moved from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction
6 of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Mis-
7 demeanors’’. In his conduct as President of the United
8 States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faith-
9 fully to execute the office of the President of the United
10 States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect,
11 and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in
12 violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the
13 laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., has ne-
14 glected the constitutional duty of the office of the Presi-
15 dent of the United States, in that:
16 Neglecting the powers of his high office, President
17 Biden has abandoned his duties to ensure that the laws
18 are faithfully executed and upheld, by presiding over an
19 executive branch that has continually, overtly, and consist-
20 ently refused to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws and
21 secure the southern border. President Biden has endan-
22 gered the security of the United States and the health and
23 safety of the American people. President Biden has caused
24 a national security crisis and is endangering the lives of
25 the American people.

1 President Biden has presided over the largest influx
2 of illegal immigrants in American history, and as evidence
3 of his dereliction, the deportation cases pursued by his ad-
4 ministration are at historic lows. President Biden’s neg-
5 ligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational
6 control of the border to the complete and total control of
7 foreign, criminal cartels—putting the lives of American
8 citizens in jeopardy. On President Biden’s watch, illegal
9 aliens have been processed and released into the interior
10 of the country under a mass system of parole, contrary
11 to the clear terms of Federal immigration law. Utilizing
12 the ‘‘CBP ONE’’ program, the executive branch will re-
13 lease nearly 40,000 illegal aliens per month into the
14 United States. He has failed to uphold the mandatory de-
15 tention and deportation provisions of immigration laws,
16 resulting in the mass entry of inadmissible aliens and the
17 continued presence of deportable aliens. Through this
18 complete and total dereliction of duty and extreme absence
19 in oversight of his own administration’s policies, President
20 Biden has allowed more than 1,500,000 illegal immigrants
21 to invade the southern border. On Joe Biden’s watch, il-
22 licit fentanyl has killed more than 100,000 American citi-
23 zens. In fiscal year 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol
24 seized more than 9,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern
25 border.

1 In his failure to uphold the rule of law, President
2 Biden has demonstrated that he will neglect his duty to
3 execute the office to which he has been entrusted, violating
4 his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,
5 and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his
6 constitutional duty to take care that the laws of the
7 United States be faithfully executed.
8 Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, war-
9 rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis-
10 qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust,
11 or profit under the United States.
