History of unsuccessful impeachment attempts

Two important things I forgot to mention in the vlog: Policy vs Law and Operational Control. Democrats were defending Mayorkas fiercely by saying he did not break the law. Rather, the operational control was in question. The Republican side kept saying it was the law Mayorkas repeatedly ignored and broke law.

The democrats replied on media reports in defense of Mayorkas. They would read aloud from parts of articles they picked up.
