                               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 article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States 
Senate:
     Article 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 

     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 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 and an indifference to 
Americans suffering as a result of America's ongoing southern border 
crisis.
    Vice President Harris has consistently refused to visit the 
southern border to ascertain the root causes of the ongoing crisis, 
aside from a single trip hundreds of miles away from the epicenter of 
the migrant crisis.
    During her tenure as the designated border czar, the U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection Agency ``encountered'' 251,978 illegal aliens at 
the southwest border in December 2022, the highest monthly total ever 
recorded and representing 10 consecutive months of over 200,000 illegal 
alien ``encounters''.
    According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency 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 Americans died of a drug overdose 
in the 12-month period ending July 2022.
    According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, 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 permitting an invasion of illegal aliens and illicit drugs into 
the United States, as well as facilitating the extenuation of a major 
humanitarian crisis, Vice President Kamala Devi Harris has directly 
betrayed the public trust of the United States, to the manifest injury 
of the people of the United States.
    Wherefore, Vice President 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. Vice President 
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.
