Biden, Jr., has 17 abused the powers of the office of the President of the 18 United States, in that: 19 Using the powers of his high office, President Biden 20 has knowingly presided over an executive branch that has 21 continuously, overtly, and consistently violated Federal 22 immigration law by pursuing an aggressive, open-borders 23 agenda by purposefully and knowingly releasing more than 24 2,000,000 illegal aliens into the interior of the United 25 States without the intention or ability to ensure that they 26 VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:44 Jun 23, 2023 Jkt 039200 PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\HR503.RCH HR503 SSpencer on DSK126QN23PROD with BILLS 3 HRES 503 RCH appear in immigration court to face asylum or deportation 1 proceedings. 2 President Biden has intentionally facilitated a com- 3 plete and total invasion at the southern border. President 4 Biden ended the Migrant Protection Protocols to require 5 aliens seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while being 6 processed by the Department of Homeland Security. 7 President Biden has closed Department of Homeland Se- 8 curity detention facilities and refused to cooperate with 9 State and local law enforcement officials in securing the 10 border. He has allowed illegal aliens to enter the United 11 States as asylum seekers despite knowing they did not 12 qualify for asylum. President Biden has pursued this 13 open-border agenda purposefully and willfully, circum- 14 venting every safeguard, check, and balance required by 15 law, resulting in mass illegal immigration into the United 16 States, to the detriment of the American people. 17 President Biden, with such conduct, has dem- 18 onstrated a failure to uphold Federal immigration law, 19 violating his oath to the Constitution if allowed to remain 20 in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible 21 with the rule of law and to the manifest injury of the peo- 22 ple of the United States. 23 Wherefore, President Biden, by such conduct, war- 24 rants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and dis- 25 VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:44 Jun 23, 2023 Jkt 039200 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\HR503.RCH HR503 SSpencer on DSK126QN23PROD with BILLS 4 HRES 503 RCH qualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, 1 or profit under the United States. 2 ARTICLE II: DERELICTION OF DUTY 3 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’’.

President Biden’s neg- 6 ligence of duty has resulted in the surrender of operational 7 control of the border to the complete and total control of 8 foreign, criminal cartels—putting the lives of American 9 citizens in jeopardy. On President Biden’s watch, illegal 10 aliens have been processed and released into the interior 11 of the country under a mass system of parole, contrary 12 to the clear terms of Federal immigration law. Utilizing 13 the ‘‘CBP ONE’’ program, the executive branch will re- 14 lease nearly 40,000 illegal aliens per month into the 15 United States. He has failed to uphold the mandatory de- 16 tention and deportation provisions of immigration laws, 17 resulting in the mass entry of inadmissible aliens and the 18 continued presence of deportable aliens. Through this 19 complete and total dereliction of duty and extreme absence 20 in oversight of his own administration’s policies, President 21 Biden has allowed more than 1,500,000 illegal immigrants 22 to invade the southern border.
