House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Tuesday that the House will open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden for shady business dealings.
Julian Zelizer : Impeachment of Bill Clinton traded for political gains that proved to be very short-lived.
Zelizer says impeachment ensures that legislative priorities will be shelved to secure indictment that will be dead on arrival in the Democrat -controlled Senate .
Impeachment is distinct from a censure; it demands more of the legislature, and potentially has, at least on paper, more significant consequences. Perhaps Biden should be impeached and removed, but, barring some bizarre reconfiguration of the Senate , this is an impossibility. Justice is, in this case, the slave of expediency. McCarthy ’s gamble makes a certain amount of political sense, but it is far from clear whether the payout will be worth the costs..
