Rep. Lauren Boebert announced on Tuesday that each member of the House will be required to publicly express their opinion on President Joe Biden’s policies and alleged behavior while in office.
The Colorado Republican posted on Twitter: “BREAKING: I am bringing my articles of impeachment against Joe Biden to the House Floor in a privileged motion, meaning that every Member of Congress must vote on holding Joe Biden accountable.”

Boebert claims that by allowing an increase of illegal activity and lethal fentanyl, Biden’s disregard for the US border has put Americans in danger. She further claims that the president has done little to ease the pressure on our immigration system.
“Biden intentionally ceded command & control of our border to cartels. His dereliction of duty caused the deaths of over 900 Coloradans from fentanyl, enabled sex-trafficking, & allowed an invasion,” she wrote in a subsequent tweet. “I brought my articles of impeachment up via a privileged motion to force a vote.”
Fox News added: “The motion will require all House members to go on the record regarding the impeachment articles, according to the congresswoman.”

In a one-on-one interview with the network, Boebert questioned Biden’s obligation under the constitution to protect the southern border. If GOP leaders don’t take action, the congresswoman promises to present articles of impeachment.
“Given the severity of the violation of Joe Biden’s constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of the president, United States to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, this is something that we must do with our majorities in the House of Representatives,” Boebert said. “This is our duty because Joe Biden has neglected the constitutional duty of the office of President of the United States.”
“I introduced the articles of impeachment in the last Congress and had fully intended to introduce them this Congress, but I was also giving some other committees and leadership the opportunity to lead on this,” Boebert continued.
“It’s about Joe Biden’s failure to secure the southern border,” she told Fox News.

“And I did this so at any time, if the committees and or leadership does not step up and actually do something about the president’s failure to secure our southern border and keep the country safe, then I will call my legislation my articles of impeachment for a privileged motion,” Boebert continued.
The Republican representative described the privileged motion and noted that a vote might not happen right away since current House rules give Republican leaders two days to decide what to do.
“Under Rule IX in the House, we can bring up certain pieces of legislation under a privileged motion. So I would go to the House floor and call up my articles of impeachment and read it in its entirety. And at that point, leadership has a maximum of two days to respond and see if it’s going to be sent to committee or a vote on the articles themselves,” she told the outlet.
During the current congressional session, articles of impeachment against President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, and Rep. Boebert, a cosponsor. On June 12, the articles were presented.
