House Republicans Authorize Biden Impeachment Inquiry

Bloomberg Quicktake: Now Republicans in the US Congress have formalized their investigation into impeaching President Joe Biden over his family’s business dealings, a politically charged move that will cast a shadow on the 2024 election. For many conservatives, the effort is fitting retribution for the twin impeachments of Donald Trump, in 2019 and 2021.
But moderates in the party, many of whom hail from areas Biden carried in 2020, are proceeding with caution, since the case so far has produced no evidence of “high crimes or misdemeanors,” the benchmark established in the US Constitution to remove a president from office.
The probe marks the third time since 2019 the House has moved toward impeaching a US president, a remarkable run considering only three of the country’s chief executives — Trump, Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson — have ever been impeached.
