1 ARTICLE I

2 In her conduct of the office of Vice President of the 

3 United States, Kamala Devi Harris, in violation of her 

4 constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice 

5 President of the United States and, to the best of her abil6 ity, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the 

7 United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty 

8 to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has pre9 vented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of jus10 tice, in that: 

11 Kamala Devi Harris has demonstrated extraordinary 

12 incompetence in the execution of her duties and respon13 sibilities and an indifference to Americans suffering as a 

14 result of America’s ongoing southern border crisis. 

15 Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit 

16 the southern border to ascertain the root causes of the 

17 ongoing crisis, aside from a single trip hundreds of miles 

18 away from the epicenter of the migrant crisis. 

19 During her tenure as the designated border czar, the 

20 U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency ‘‘encoun21 tered’’ 251,978 illegal aliens at the southwest border in 

22 December 2022, the highest monthly total ever recorded 

23 and representing 10 consecutive months of over 200,000 

24 illegal alien ‘‘encounters’’.

1 According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

2 Agency data, in the first 5 months of fiscal year 2023, 

3 106,000 pounds of drugs were seized at the southwest bor4 der, including 11,000 pounds of fentanyl. The first 5 

5 months of fiscal year 2023 saw a 179.3-percent increase 

6 in fentanyl seizures over the same time frame in fiscal year 

7 2022. 

8 According to Drug Enforcement Agency statistics, 

9 over 50,600,000 fentanyl pills were seized in 2022, includ10 ing over 10,800 pounds of fentanyl powder; these fentanyl 

11 seizures are enough to kill over 379,000,000 people. Re12 cent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Pre13 vention indicate that 107,735 Americans died of a drug 

14 overdose in the 12-month period ending July 2022. 

15 According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protec16 tion Agency, migrant deaths at the southwest border of 

17 the United States totaled 856 in fiscal year 2022, the

20 indicated that out of the number of women surveyed, near21 ly one-third had been sexually assaulted as they ap22 proached the southern border. 

23 In permitting an invasion of illegal aliens and illicit 

24 drugs into the United States, as well as facilitating the 

25 extenuation of a major humanitarian crisis, Vice President

•HRES 494 IH 

1 Kamala Devi Harris has directly betrayed the public trust 

2 of the United States, to the manifest injury of the people 

3 of the United States. 

4 Wherefore, Vice President Harris, by such conduct, 

5 has demonstrated that she will remain a threat to national 

6 security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in of7 fice, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with 

8 self-governance and the rule of law. Vice President Harris 

9 thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, 

10 and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, 

11 trust, or profit under the United States.
