The Senate received the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, as Democrats plan to vote as soon as Wednesday to quickly dispense with the effort to remove him from office.
Following the presentation of the articles, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said the chamber would swear in senators as jurors at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
Schumer has said the chamber would dispense with the articles “quickly,” but the exact mechanics of that process are still unclear. The chamber almost certainly will not vote the 67 votes to convict Mayorkas.
