Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking up the prospects of forcing an impeachment vote against President Joe Biden this week, but Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that the House should let existing investigations play out.
“In general, the impeachment power is one that we wield very carefully here, as I’ve said so many times. Next to declaration of war, it’s the heaviest power that Congress has. And it needs to be very methodical,” Johnson told reporters Tuesday.
“I think President Biden is the worst president in the history of the country, and there may well be impeachable offenses,” the speaker said. “There is an investigation process … and the process continues. So I’m not making any commitment on that this morning. We have to let the constitutional process and our constitutional responsibility play out.”
