A Democrat put forth a motion to impeach President Biden in the House

It's an amazing piece of footage. Unfortunately I don't have a cite at the moment, but it might be making articles tomorrow.

He's on the committee that's been investigating the President and his family for about as long as this Congress has been in session. And he gets recognized by the Chair, and he says "I'm going to make this easy for you since you seem to have a problem doing this. I formally make a motion to impeach President Joe Biden. Can I have a second?"

*crickets*

He goes on to say "See? They won't do it because they know they have no evidence and can't bring charges."

Hilarious! Just an absolutely brilliant move!

Edit: Thanks to dewline, we have the CNN cite! https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/03/21/biden-impeachment-jared-moskowitz-jim-jordan-vpx.cnn

Rep. Jared Moskowitz provides the entertainment, and Jim Jordan just sits there.

Calling out the enemy and holding their feet to the fire is always a good thing!  Once upon a time, politicians could say "my honorable opponent", I don't know if that phrase will ever come back into honest usage.

In order to become a politician, a person has to consciously renounce whatever honor they might have naturally possessed. An honorable politician will fail. Only a total scumbag who's willing to lie, steal, commit violence, and resort to trickery, bribery, blackmail, and various other forms of criminal behavior. Here in the NY metro area, NJ senator Robert Menendez has been removed from office because he received bribes of various sorts to use his senatorial powers to do favors for foreign businesses. The mayor of NYC appointed a lot of people to various positions when he took office, and many of these are now being accused of using their positions for profit.
