                               RESOLUTION


 
Impeaching Kamala Devi Harris, Vice President of the United States, for 
                     high crimes and misdemeanors.

    Resolved, That Kamala Devi Harris, Vice President of the United 
States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the 
following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States 
Senate:
     Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Kamala Devi Harris, Vice 
President of the United States, in maintenance and support of its 
impeachment against her for high crimes and misdemeanors.

       article i: willful refusal to uphold the immigration laws

    
    The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall 
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and Executive Branch officials, 
including the Vice President, ``shall be removed from Office on 
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high 
Crimes and Misdemeanors''. In her conduct of the Office of Vice 
President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris, in violation of her 
constitutional oath to support and defend the Constitution of the 
United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, to bear truth 
faith and allegiance to the same, and to well and faithfully discharge 
the duties of her Office, has willfully and systemically refused to 
uphold Federal immigration laws, in that:
    In her conduct of the Office of Vice President of the United 
States, Kamala Devi Harris, in violation of her constitutional oath to 
faithfully execute the Office of Vice President of the United States 
and, to the best of her ability, preserve, protect, and defend the 
Constitution of the United States, and in violation of her 
constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, 
has willfully prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of 
justice, in that:
    Kamala Devi Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in 
the execution of her duties and responsibilities, a stark refusal to 
uphold the existing immigration laws, and a palpable indifference to 
people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing 
southern border crisis in the United States.
    Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the 
southern border to evaluate this ongoing national crisis, aside from a 
single trip hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of the migrant 
crisis.
     Women and girls in the United States have paid a disproportionate 
price for the ongoing border crisis, tragically extenuated by the 
inaction of border czar Kamala Devi Harris. In August 2023, Rachel 
Morin, a mother of 5, was raped and killed by an illegal alien. In 
September 2023, an illegal alien attacked a woman and her 9-year-old 
daughter in Los Angeles. On May 14, 2024, an illegal alien from Turkey 
raped a 15-year-old New York girl after threatening to beat her with a 
pipe. In February 2024, a 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was 
killed by an illegal alien. In June 2024, a 13-year-old New York girl 
was raped in broad daylight inside a Queens park by an illegal alien; 
Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl, was killed by 2 illegal 
aliens and later found dead after being strangled and sexually 
assaulted; 5 illegal aliens were charged with kidnapping a 14-year-old 
Indiana girl.
    During her tenure as the designated border czar, the U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection Agency ``encountered'' nearly 302,000 illegal 
aliens at the southwest border in December 2023, the highest monthly 
total ever recorded and representing 4 consecutive months of over 
240,000 illegal alien ``encounters''.
    According to the U.S. Customs and Border data, in the first 5 
months of fiscal year 2023, 106,000 pounds of drugs were seized at the 
southwest border, including 11,000 pounds of fentanyl. The first 5 
months of fiscal year 2023 saw a 179.3-percent increase in fentanyl 
seizures over the same time frame in fiscal year 2022.
    According to Drug Enforcement Agency statistics, over 50,600,000 
fentanyl pills were seized in 2022, including over 10,800 pounds of 
fentanyl powder; these fentanyl seizures are enough to kill over 
379,000,000 people. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention indicate that 107,735 individuals in the United States 
died of a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending July 2022.
    According to the U.S. Customs and Border, migrant deaths at the 
southwest border of the United States totaled 856 in fiscal year 2022, 
the deadliest year on record.
    A May 2017 report from Doctors Without Borders indicated that out 
of the number of women surveyed, nearly one-third had been sexually 
assaulted as they approached the southern border.
    In all of this, Kamala Devi Harris willfully and systematically 
refused to uphold the immigration laws, failed to control the border to 
the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and 
violated the rule of law, to the manifest injury of the people of the 
United States.
    Wherefore Vice President Kamala Devi Harris, by such conduct, has 
demonstrated that she will remain a threat to national security and the 
Constitution if allowed to remain in Office, and has acted in a manner 
grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Kamala 
Devi Harris thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from Office, 
and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or 
profit under the United States.

                   article ii: breach of public trust

    
    The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall 
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and Executive Branch officials, 
including the Vice President, ``shall be removed from Office on 
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high 
Crimes and Misdemeanors''. In her conduct while Vice President of the 
United States, Kamala Devi Harris, in violation of her oath to well and 
faithfully discharge the duties of her Office, has breached the public 
trust, in that:
    Kamala Devi Harris has knowingly misled the people of the United 
States and the Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate 
the physical and cognitive well-being of the President of the United 
States, Joe Biden. Kamala Devi Harris engaged in this scheme of course 
of conduct through the following means:
            (1) Kamala Devi Harris, despite maintaining a clear moral 
        obligation to do so, failed to invoke the procedure stipulated 
        in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, 
        particularly after President Joe Biden's announcement on Sunday 
        July 21, 2024, that he would no longer be seeking the Democrat 
        nomination for President of the United States for the 2024 
        election.
            (2) Kamala Devi Harris has refused to answer any questions 
        regarding President Joe Biden's tragic cognitive decline, 
        particularly when she began to notice such decline and for how 
        long she knew the President was no longer capable of 
        discharging the duties of his office.
    In all of this, Kamala Devi Harris breached the public trust in 
failing basic expectations of transparency and demonstrating a severe 
lack of integrity.
    Wherefore Kamala Devi Harris, by such conduct, has demonstrated 
that she will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain 
in Office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with her 
duties and the rule of law. Kamala Devi Harris thus warrants 
impeachment and trial, removal from Office, and disqualification to 
hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United 
States.
