they haven’t gone in Rafah yet—if they go into Rafah, 
I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used his-
torically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that 
deal with that problem.’’. 
President Biden engaged in this scheme or course of 
conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal polit-
ical benefit. In so doing, President Biden used the powers 
of the Presidency in a manner that compromised the na-
tional security of the United States and undermined the 
integrity of the United States democratic process. He thus 
ignored and injured the interests of the Nation. 
Wherefore President Biden, by such conduct, thus 
warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and 
disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, 
trust, or profit under the United States. 
ARTICLE II: FAILURE TO FAITHFULLY EXECUTE LAWS 
The Constitution provides that the House of Rep-
resentatives ‘‘shall have the sole Power of Impeachment’’ 
and that the President ‘‘shall be removed from Office on 
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or 
other high Crimes and Misdemeanors’’. In his conduct of 
the office of President of the United States, and in viola-
tion of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the of-
fice 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 faithfully executed, Jo-
seph Robinette Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the 
Presidency, in that: 
President Biden has allowed aliens to enter the 
United States in violation of the immigration laws, thwart-
ed the will of Congress as set forth in duly enacted law 
by not completing the southern border wall, and deprived 
border agents of the sufficient manpower and resources 
needed to secure the border and its physical infrastruc-
ture. 
His conduct has included the following: 
(1) President Biden’s Department of Homeland 
Security (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘DHS’’) has 
willfully refused to maintain operational control of 
the border as required by the Secure Fence Act of 
2006. His actions have directly led to an increase in 
illegal aliens and illegal narcotics, including deadly 
fentanyl, entering the United States. 
(2) President Biden’s administration has will-
fully violated the Immigration and Nationality Act 
by releasing illegal aliens into the interior of the 
United States. The Act clearly requires DHS to de-
tain aliens seeking admission to the United States 
while they are processed. By law, DHS does not

rior of the United States. 
(3) President Biden has reinstituted the catch 
and release policies of the Obama administration 
and has released aliens into the interior of the 
United States without issuing the aliens notices to 
appear. 
(4) Under President Biden’s administration, 
the Department of Homeland Security terminated 
the Migrant Protection Protocols, which provided a 
pathway to process claims in compliance with the 
law, and served as a deterrent to illegal immigration 
and aliens making fraudulent asylum claims. 
(5) As a result of President Biden’s policies, 
Customs and Border Patrol (hereinafter referred to 
as ‘‘CBP’’) encounters, and those evading capture, 
have increased by millions since he became Presi-
dent. 
(6) In addition to illegal aliens, President 
Biden’s policies have led to a significant increase in 
illegal drug smuggling across the southern border. 
Fentanyl now kills hundreds of Americans every day. 
President Biden, by these actions, has made the bor-
der less secure and encouraged aliens to enter the United 
States illegally instead of taking actions to maintain oper-

duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, Jo-
seph Robinette Biden, Jr., has abused the powers of the 
Presidency, in that: 
The Constitution establishes three separate but equal 
branches of government: the legislative branch to make 
law, the executive branch to enforce these laws, and the 
judicial branch for judicial review of these laws and their 
enforcement. President Biden attempted to unilaterally re-
write Federal statute and cancel hundreds of billions of 
dollars of student loans for tens of millions of borrowers 
without congressional approval. President Biden himself 
had previously admitted it was Congress that would need 
to act, stating ‘‘I don’t think I have the authority’’ in re-
sponse to questioning over student loan forgiveness. Presi-
dent Biden later contradicted himself by directing his Sec-
retary of Education to deceptively reinterpret congres-
sional statute. These actions were unsupported in Con-
gress and ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court, 
as they explained in Biden v. Nebraska: 
Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, 
Congress became concerned that borrowers affected by the 
crisis, particularly those who served in the military, would 
need additional assistance. As a result, it enacted the 
Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act 
of 2001. That law provided the Secretary of Education,

for a limited period of time, with ‘‘specific waiver authority 
to respond to conditions in the national emergency’’ 
caused by the September 11 attacks (115 Stat. 2386). 
Rather than allow this grant of authority to expire by its 
terms at the end of September 2003, Congress passed the 
Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act 
of 2003 (HEROES Act) (117 Stat. 904). That Act ex-
tended the coverage of the 2001 statute to include any 
war or national emergency, not just the September 11 at-
tacks. By its terms, the Secretary ‘‘may waive or modify 
any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the stu-
dent financial assistance programs under title IV of the 
[Education Act] as the Secretary deems necessary in con-
nection with a war or other military operation or national 
emergency’’. 
Under the Government’s reading of the HEROES 
Act, the Secretary would enjoy virtually unlimited power 
to rewrite the Education Act. The economic and political 
significance of the Secretary’s action is staggering by any 
measure. A budget model issued by the Wharton School 
of the University of Pennsylvania estimates that the pro-
gram will cost taxpayers ‘‘between $469 billion and $519 
billion’’, depending on the total number of borrowers ulti-
mately covered. It amounts to nearly one-third of the Gov-
ernment’s $1.7 trillion in annual discretionary spending.

•HRES 1319 IH 
The sharp debates generated by the Secretary’s extraor-
dinary program stand in stark contrast to the unanimity 
with which Congress passed the HEROES Act. A decision 
of such magnitude and consequence on a matter of earnest 
and profound debate across the country must rest with 
Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear 
delegation from that representative body. 
As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ex-
plained: ‘‘People think that the President of the United 
States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. 
He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that 
power. That has to be an act of Congress.’’. Press Con-
ference, Office of the Speaker of the House (July 28, 
2021). 
The Supreme Court has made it clear that unilateral 
debt cancellation must have congressional input. President 
Biden, once again, has ignored the Supreme Court. The 
new plan that was rolled out in a statement by the White 
House on April 8, 2024, would forgive over 30 million stu-
dents and would cost tens of billions of dollars, which will 
lead to higher inflation and less money in Americans’ 
pocketbooks. Additionally, it violates the Fiscal Responsi-
bility Act pay as you go requirement.
