The Senate is currently engaged in a crucial voting process regarding the impeachment proceedings against Alejandro Mayorkas. The latest development involves a motion to table or dismiss an earlier point of order put forth by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. This particular point of order aims to eliminate the second article of impeachment against Mayorkas.
Republican Senator John Thune has proposed a counter-motion to reject Schumer's initial motion. This back-and-forth between the two parties underscores the intense deliberations taking place within the Senate.
Prior to this latest voting session, there was a failed attempt to transition into executive session. The failed motion was introduced by GOP Senator John Kennedy and was ultimately defeated in a party-line vote with a tally of 49-51.
These series of events highlight the intricate and often contentious nature of the impeachment process. The Senate's decision on whether to table Schumer's motion or proceed with the impeachment proceedings will have significant implications for the future course of action.
