Summary
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution to reverse the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives. The resolution, H.Res.1211, declares that both impeachments should be formally “expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives.” Issa claims that Democrats used “knowingly false” claims in a partisan attempt to destroy Trump’s reputation. The resolution argues that the 2019 impeachment was based on unreliable and politically biased information, and that the 2021 impeachment was rushed and procedurally flawed.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. Darrell Issa has introduced a resolution to reverse the two impeachments of President Donald Trump. The resolution aims to “expunge” the impeachments from the record. Issa claims that Democrats used “knowingly false” claims to destroy Trump’s reputation. The resolution has the backing of House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and over 20 other House Republicans. The effort reignites a constitutional argument as to whether the House can retroactively nullify an impeachment it has already adopted.
It’s just another episode in the long-running drama of Trump’s impeachments.
