A group of Republican lawmakers led by Ohio Rep. Bob Gibbs want President Joe Biden out of office and filed articles of impeachment against him on Tuesday.
Gibbs claims the president violated his oath of office on three points, according to text obtained by DailyMail.com: the southern border crisis, the evictions moratorium and Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Brian Babin of Texas and Randy Weber of Texas are co-sponsors on the effort.
'Yesterday I filed three articles of impeachment against President Biden based on what I believe to be clear violations of his duties as president,' Gibbs told DailyMail.com on Wednesday.
'His willful negligence of the border crisis is a failure to maintain and defend American sovereignty. Biden’s attempts to extend a federal eviction moratorium despite the Supreme Court’s warning and his own admission that he has no power to do so is a blatant and intentional action that violates the separation of powers.'

He continued, 'Finally, the withdrawal from Afghanistan was not just a disaster. By pulling military personnel out before the evacuation of American civilians, President Biden shamefully left our own citizens in danger.'
Gibbs said the crisis in Afghanistan pushed him to file articles of impeachment.
'I don’t take this step lightly. Before the Afghanistan debacle, I urged my colleagues to consider a measured, thoughtful conversation on the merits of impeachment,' he said.
He added that the sweeping COVID vaccine order Biden introduced earlier this month could later be added as an additional article.
The Ohio Republican acknowledged that impeachment proceedings would be virtually impossible to get off the ground in the Democrat-controlled House and said it was 'a shot across the bow' intended to warn the administration.

'There are political dynamics in Congress I recognize will prevent this from ever being debated. But I could not stand by while President Biden commits what I believe to be flagrant and deliberate violations of his oath of office,' Gibbs said.
'When Republicans take back the House, we will take our commitment to the separation of powers, our role as a check and balance to the executive branch seriously. President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the entire administration is officially on notice.'
In the first article, Gibbs attacks Biden for failing to secure the US-Mexico border by halting construction of former President Donald Trump's border wall and 'leaving Border Patrol agents to fend for themselves in the effort to secure our borders.'
He also accused Biden of 'knowingly releas[ing] migrants having tested positive for COVID-19' into the United States after the White House rolled back enforcement of Title 42.
