ARTICLE I 
In his conduct of the Office of President of the 
United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, in violation of his 
constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Presi-
dent of the United States and, to the best of his ability, 
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the 
United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty 
to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has pre-
vented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of jus-
tice, in that: 
Joseph Robinette Biden has weaponized the Execu-
tive Office of the President and his years of service in the 
White House, to include his service as Vice President, to 
shield the business and influence peddling schemes of his 
family from congressional oversight and public account-
ability. 
His conduct has included the following: 
(1) A failure to comply with numerous congres-
sional requests for information and documentation, 
violating a personal commitment to transparency. 
Members of Congress had sent numerous oversight 
requests and inquiries to key officials within the 
Biden administration in furtherance of Congress’ 
constitutional oversight obligations. These requests 
included a letter to Secretary Yellen, requesting Sus-

picious Activity Reports for the Biden family and 
business associates, a letter to the Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Christopher Wray, 
requesting information about Hunter Biden’s con-
nection to members of the Chinese Communist 
Party, and a letter to then Acting Archivist of the 
United States, Debra Steidel Wall, regarding the 
Biden family’s use of Air Force Two to facilitate 
business transactions with Chinese nationals. 
(2) Several companies created after January 
20, 2017, by Biden family members and the busi-
ness associates of those family members were estab-
lished as limited liability companies; these companies 
and others were used to funnel millions of dollars to 
Biden family members in intricate financial webs in-
tended to deceive the public and obscure the sources 
of those funds. In early 2017, the Biden family re-
ceived $1,065,000 in payments over a 3-month pe-
riod from Rob Walker, a family associate; those 
funds were part of a larger $3,000,000 payment 
from State Energy HK Limited (a Chinese com-
pany) to Rob Walker’s company. 
(3) In 2016, then-Vice President Biden told 
then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the 
United States would rescind $1,000,000,000 in loan

guarantees unless the Ukrainian President fired 
Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. Mr. Shokin was 
investigating Burisma Holdings at the time, a 
Ukrainian company that paid Hunter Biden more 
than $50,000 a month to sit on its Board. 
(4) The Biden administration withheld a critical 
FD–1023 form until threatened with a congressional 
subpoena. The FD–1023 form, made available to the 
Members of the House Oversight and Accountability 
Committee in June 2023, reportedly details a brib-
ery scheme in which members of the Biden family, 
including 
Joseph 
Robinette 
Biden, 
received 
$5,000,000 each to assist Burisma Holdings. The 
confidential human source of this form has been 
used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a re-
liable source of information since 2010. 
In all of this, Joseph Robinette Biden has acted in 
a manner contrary to the public trust and subversive of 
constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the 
cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the 
people of the United States. 
Wherefore Joseph Robinette Biden, by such conduct, 
warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and 
disqualification to hold any enjoy any office of honor, 
trust, or profit under the United States.

ARTICLE II 
In his conduct of the office of President of the United 
States, Joseph Robinette Biden, contrary to his oath faith-
fully to execute the office of President of the United States 
and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend 
the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of 
his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faith-
fully executed, directly facilitated the ongoing southern 
border crisis and endangered the people of the United 
States, in that: 
(1) In the first five months of fiscal year 2023, 
106,000 pounds of drugs were seized at the south-
west border, including 11,000 pounds of fentanyl. 
The first five months of fiscal year 2023 saw a 
179.3-percent increase in fentanyl seizures over the 
same time frame in fiscal year 2022. 
(2) The U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
Agency ‘‘encountered’’ 251,978 illegal aliens at the 
southwest border in December 2022, the highest 
monthly total ever recorded; this represented 10 con-
secutive months of over 200,000 illegal alien ‘‘en-
counters’’. 
(3) Despite these large numbers, Joseph 
Robinette Biden refuses to utilize powers provided to 
the President by Congress, specifically those de-

scribed in section 1182(f) of title 8, United States 
Code. 
(4) Since the creation of the Department of 
Homeland Security, the number of monthly ‘‘en-
counters’’ had never crossed the 200,000 threshold; 
the Biden administration is responsible for the 6 
highest and 8 of the 10 highest months ever re-
corded. 
(5) The ongoing border crisis has inflicted 
harrowing costs on the welfare of women and chil-
dren. The number of unaccompanied alien children 
‘‘encountered’’ by the U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection Agency at the southwest border in fiscal 
year 2017 was 48,681. In fiscal year 2022, that 
number stood at 152,057, a 212-percent increase. 
Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children have 
been ‘‘encountered’’, trafficked, and smuggled across 
the southwest border in the 2 years since President 
Biden took office, representing hundreds of children 
every day. 
(6) Due to rampant drug trafficking at our 
southern border, the leading cause of death for 
Americans aged 18–45 can now be attributable to 
fentanyl overdoses; in 2020 and 2021, fentanyl was 
responsible for killing more Americans in this age
