tv_txt: IV 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 494 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 12, 2023 Mr. Ogles (for himself and Mrs. Miller of Illinois ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Impeaching Kamala Devi Harris, Vice President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

That Kamala Devi Harris, Vice President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Kamala Devi Harris, Vice President of the United States, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against her for high crimes and misdemeanors. Article I In her conduct of the office of Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris, in violation of her constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of her ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that: Kamala Devi Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities and an indifference to Americans suffering as a result of America’s ongoing southern border crisis. Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the southern border to ascertain the root causes of the ongoing crisis, aside from a single trip hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of the migrant crisis. During her tenure as the designated border czar, 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 and representing 10 consecutive months of over 200,000 illegal alien encounters . According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency data, in the first 5 months of fiscal year 2023, 106,000 pounds of drugs were seized at the southwest border, including 11,000 pounds of fentanyl. The first 5 months of fiscal year 2023 saw a 179.3-percent increase in fentanyl seizures over the same time frame in fiscal year 2022. According to Drug Enforcement Agency statistics, over 50,600,000 fentanyl pills were seized in 2022, including over 10,800 pounds of fentanyl powder; these fentanyl seizures are enough to kill over 379,000,000 people. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that 107,735 Americans died of a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending July 2022. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, migrant deaths at the southwest border of the United States totaled 856 in fiscal year 2022, the deadliest year on record. A May 2017 report from Doctors Without Borders indicated that out of the number of women surveyed, nearly one-third had been sexually assaulted as they approached the southern border. In permitting an invasion of illegal aliens and illicit drugs into the United States, as well as facilitating the extenuation of a major humanitarian crisis, Vice President Kamala Devi Harris has directly betrayed the public trust of the United States, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, Vice President Harris, by such conduct, has demonstrated that she will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Vice President Harris 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.
