TL;DR Summary

A group of hard-right House Republicans attempted to impeach President Joe Biden over his handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, but the effort was sidelined for now. GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert was able to force the issue to a House vote, demonstrating the challenge Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces in controlling his Republican majority. McCarthy negotiated a deal with Boebert to send the Biden impeachment resolution for review to the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, fending off a vote for some time. The tense episode underscores the hold the House conservative flank exerts over McCarthy and the power of a single lawmaker to use the rules of the House to force a snap vote on such weighty measures as a presidential impeachment.
