Speaker Mike Johnson said the House would finally send over its articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas on April 10 to kickstart a trial in the Senate.
The House voted to impeach Mayorkas on February 13 by just one vote over 'willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law' and 'breach of the public trust.'
Johnson urged in vain for the Senate to convict Mayorkas.
'The constitutional grounds for Secretary Mayorkas' conviction and removal from office are well-founded, and the historical record is clear,' Johnson wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
If Schumer even calls a trial, two thirds of the Democrat-led Senate would need to vote to convict Mayorkas and remove him from office.
'We call upon you to fulfill your constitutional obligation to hold this trial,' Johnson added. 'The American people demand a secure border, and accountability for those responsible.'
