Sen. Rick Scott Urges Kamala Harris to Preside over Mayorkas’ Impeachment TrialNeil Munro 20 Feb 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris is the nation’s “Border Czar” and so should volunteer to preside over the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Joe Biden’s border chief, says Republican Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).
“As Vice President, the Constitution directs that you also serve as the presiding officer of the U.S. Senate,” Scott wrote in a trolling February 20 public letter to Harris:
Although Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has publicly stated he intends for President Pro Tempore Patty Murray to preside over the upcoming impeachment trial of Secretary Mayorkas, I write to encourage and invite you to fulfill your constitutional duty to serve as the presiding officer of Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment trial.
When President Biden appointed you as the “border czar” in early 2021, he tasked you with “stemming the migration to our southern border.” In accepting that appointment, you acknowledged a need “to deal with the root causes” of the flows of illegal immigration across our southern border. As such, you should be keenly interested in learning whether a high-ranking member of your administration is one of those “root causes” through his willful and persistent refusal to enforce our country’s immigration laws, frustrating the very core function of your role as President Biden’s “border czar.”
Harris got her unwanted “border czar” title when Biden was seeking to deflect blame in 2021 for his decision to open the nation’s borders.
It is unlikely that Harris will preside over any trial.
