Impeaching President Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
HRES 493 is a resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on June 12, 2023, proposing to impeach President Joe Biden for "high crimes and misdemeanors." It alleges two main violations: (1) obstructing justice by allegedly shielding his family's business dealings (including Hunter Biden's ties to Burisma Holdings) from congressional oversight, and (2) failing to address the southern border crisis, citing record migrant encounters and fentanyl seizures. The resolution claims these actions violated the President's constitutional duties. This is a formal impeachment proposal, not a law, and it remains under consideration by the House Judiciary Committee.
