The Articles of Impeachment and Investigative Reports
Event Summary
The Center for Immigration Studies hosted a panel to discuss the history and impact of the impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Should he have been impeached? Why was he impeached? What are the consequences of the U.S. Senate’s refusal to either hold a trial itself or to appoint an impeachment trial committee to take and consider evidence?
The panel featured Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, who guided the impeachment resolution through the Committee and to ultimate passage by the House. The panel also included George Fishman, the Center’s senior legal fellow who took a leave of absence to work on the impeachment inquiry as Special Counsel for the Committee on Homeland Security and Paul Taylor, the former Chief Counsel of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, who also served as Special Counsel for the Committee on Homeland Security to work on the impeachment inquiry.
