At least this was more legit than Trump's.

Why is that? (I do not think that what President Trump did was an impeach crime, but I certainly don't see how the Secretary's is.)

It is the Secretary's job to secure the border. The border is in the worst shape, ever.

If not doing your job is your criteria for impeachment, we should probably line up everybody in the US Congress also. LOL

There's not doing your job and there's not doing your job. I think anybody past mouth-breather IQ that has lived in America for a few months will tell you the border is a huge problem.

The Constitution limits grounds of impeachment to "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors",[2] but does not itself define "high crimes and misdemeanors".

So, if i understand you, the Secretary in charge of the border could have done what to solve the problem? What powers does he have or did he have?

[Jolly]

Do we have border laws not being enforced?

[taiwan_girl]

I don't know. What are the border laws not being enforced?

Again, I don't think not doing your job is impeachable. How is that a high crime or misdemeanor? And if it is felt that this is impeachable, then it should be President Biden who is impeached, not the Minister of the Interior.

Educate yourself.

What is the law?

Is it being enforced?

If not, is that a cause for firing someone impeachable?

wly uncovered emails between Department of Homeland Security officials and journalists show the agency tasked with protecting U.S. border and domestic security admitted it is not tracking illegal immigrants after they were released from federal custody into the interior of the country.

In the emails obtained by the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust in a Freedom of Information Act request, one DHS official told a Washington Post reporter off the record he could not say how many immigrants are settling in Northern states via border state busing programs because the agency does not track those released from their custody.

“Are more people deciding to settle in DC/New York or, more recently, Chicago as a result of the program where they might have previously been inclined to remain in Texas or Arizona?” the reporter asked in a September 2022 email reviewed by Just the News.

“Off the record, that’s hard for us to say because they’re getting on those buses after they’re already out of our custody,” the official answered.

“That said, anecdotally including what I hear from other reporters, it does appear that word is spreading and they are looking for those buses for the free transportation. I’ve also heard many people are getting off along the way, so they’re using the buses for as long as it is convenient, but again, because they are out of our custody by then, it is hard for us to be able to answer that,” the official added.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach federal officials. An official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Does "not doing your job" or "not enforcing a law" per se passes for 'treason, bribery, and other “other high crimes and misdemeanors"'?

Good question.

What is "misdemeanor" mean in a constitutional, not legal, sense. At the time of the framing of the Constitution, was there anything that was "legal" or "illegal?" Were there any laws?

What was a "crime," either "low" or "high"?

This is all what TG said above as well.
