Should President Biden be impeached on allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption?

In September 2023 House Speaker Kevin McCarthy greenlit impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden. Among the allegations against President Biden are that he helped his embattled son Hunter Biden make millions of dollars while representing overseas companies by appearing at dozens of meetings with company executives to curry favors, including those with Burisma and a venture capital firm connected to the Chinese communist government. As a result of his alleged participation, members of his family have profited off the Biden name to the tune of millions of dollars. The allegations have “consumed” the president, according to those close to him.

Given the fact that trump did not get impeached for his allegations I don't think it would make any sense to impeach Biden

 @9KZZ7PW from Maryland  answered…1yr1Y

Impeached is a little much and it's not really true but I think he's to old and past his prime to be president

 @9KSMG9V from Oregon  answered…1yr1Y

No, Presidents should only be impeached if they are proven to be criminally liable and or suspected (with proof) of treason. Biden despite being old and senile has committed no crime this partisan policy to try and impeach presidents who have down no wrong makes little to no sense. Unless in the case of Donald Trump who had his supporters attempt to commit a coup.

 @EllienaeGreen  from Hawaii  answered…1yr1Y

If there is undeniable evidence that a person has committed a crime, they should be held accountable.

 @8Z7PTXFDemocrat  from California  answered…1yr1Y

No, Republicans have failed to demonstrate any evidence of abuse of power, obstruction, or corruption. The impeachment is purely revenge for Trump

 @StarSwordDemocrat  from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

No, but he should be impeached for breaking the railroad strike and aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza

 @9JVWKVM  from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

if he is convicted and there is evidence of him abusing power, obstruction, and corruption, then yes

 @9JTGR5NGreen from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but also on the status of age, as there is an age requirement for president, there should be an age limit.

 @9JRHNYMWorkers from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

I don't think he should be impeached but like SOMEONE REIGN IN THE GOVERNMENT PLEASE THATS WHAT CHECKS AND BALANCES SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE

 @9JFW25Q from Kentucky  answered…1yr1Y

I don't really care on what happens to the president due to the fact they all do not make very smart descions.

 @7W2S6LD  from New Jersey  answered…1yr1Y

If he did something wrong then yes, but if we do that then we should hold every politician and public servant to the same standards and we both know that will never happen...

 @9J3VBM9Green from California  answered…1yr1Y

No, President Biden should be put on trial at the Hague for aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza.

 @9HVYWNZ from Kentucky  answered…1yr1Y

Yes; his conduct regarding the Israeli genocide of Palestinians is reprehensible, especially considering that in the wake of the new offensive, most Americans do not support Israel

 @9HSKNB8 from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

since he hasn't committed an impeachable act, (unlike Trump who has committed many) this is a dumb question.

 @9HJZDWP from New York  answered…1yr1Y

No, but we need to change the laws so that criminals cannot have any sort of political power within the country

 @9FYRHMD from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

If those said allegations are found to be true and proven with correct evidence then yes, same as any other criminal or person who intends to undermine our Constitution.

 @9FJDHHPRepublican from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, Biden is mocking America. He is a joke and probably has Alzheimers already.

 @9FH4Z6WSocialist  from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

No, not until there is sufficient evidence.

  @srynotsry  from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

If it turns out that yes he had abused his power and there are Constitutional grounds to impeach then he should be.

 @9FFJLP7 from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

Are these statements true? If they are, he can have a fair trial and be found guilty or not guilty.

 @84ZWD6LLibertarian  from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if Biden committed a crime he should be charged

 @9FC9MYX from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

If there is solid evidence, then yes.

 @8X6RGPBIndependent  from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

If evidence comes out, yes.

 @9FC7F5N from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

Well he’s done things worse than this, but it’s a maybe from me.

 @9FB6WQH from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but we need to prosecute the other politicians that commit the same crimes.

No One’s Safe: Trump’s ‘Border Czar’ Homan Promises Sweeping Deportation Operation

TOM COTTON is slated to be the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, putting “I think mass deportation is just talk, but the era of open borders will be over,” Scott McConnell, a co-founder of The American Conservative, wrote on X. In July a Mexican-born Trump backer told The Times, “Last time, he didn’t even finish the wall. What’s he going to do this time?”Now the answer is taking shape: He’s going to oversee a militarized mass roundup of the undocumented. On Sunday, Trump named Tom Homan, his former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as “border czar.”In a speech to this year’s National Conservatism Conference, Homan, who oversaw Trump’s family separation policy, promised a “historic deportation operation” from which no undocumented immigrant would be safe. “No one’s off the table in the next administration,” he said. “If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.”Then, on Monday, Trump named the obsessively anti-immigrant Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff. Miller’s portfolio, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported in The Times, “is expected to be vast and to far exceed what the eventual title will convey.” Miller has been forthright about his desire to purge immigrants here illegally, as well as many here legally, from the United States.Among other things, Miller has said that Trump would cancel the temporary protected status of thousands of Afghans who fled here after the Taliban’s takeover and take another stab at ending DACA, the program that protects from deportation some immigrants brought to the United States as children.Most significantly, he’s laid out plans to use National Guard troops to help arrest migrants en masse, warehousing them in military camps while they await deportation. No one should be shocked when this happens. I suspect some will be anyway.

Hegseth Out, DeSantis In? Trump Rethinks Defense Pick

President-elect Donald Trump is considering Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth, his pick to run the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the discussions, amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s—and Hegseth’s—view on culling what they see as “woke” policies in the military.Trump allies increasingly think Hegseth might not survive further scrutiny, according to people close to the president-elect’s team, which considers the next 48 hours to be crucial to his fate.DeSantis, who served as a Navy lawyer in Iraq and the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, was on an earlier list of potential defense-secretary candidates that transition officials presented to the president. Trump ultimately went with Hegseth. But as Hegseth’s nomination has faltered, that list has been revived and DeSantis is again among the choices Trump is considering, the people said.The discussions are in their early stages, one of the people said, adding that Trump has floated DeSantis’s name in casual conversations with guests at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club.Trump could decide not to choose DeSantis and select another replacement, if Hegseth’s nomination falls apart, the people said. Another potential defense-secretary candidate who has been discussed by Trump allies, according to people familiar with the matter, is Elbridge Colby, a former Pentagon official and ally of Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump is also considering Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) for the job, some of the people said.DeSantis was once seen as an acolyte of Trump but his decision to challenge the former president in the 2024 GOP primary began a conflict between them, with Trump casting DeSantis as disloyal. Trump easily prevailed in the primary and friends of the two have worked to repair the relationship.
