Ohio Republican Rep. Bob Gibbs introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on Tuesday based on his response to Afghanistan and open border policies, among other concerns.
Arizona Republic Rep. Andy Biggs and Texas Republican Reps. Brian Babin and Randy Weber co-sponsored the resolution.
“I take this seriously. I don’t think it’s haphazard. I’m not trying to get media attention for myself,” Gibbs told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “He’s done so much damage to this country in less than nine months, which is really scary.”
“He’s not capable of being commander in chief, and that’s obvious by the actions since Day One when he took the presidency back in January,” Gibbs said.
“Maybe something like this makes the White House think twice before they do some of this nonsense,” he added.
Gibbs also took to Twitter to express his concerns leading to the impeachment resolution.
“It’s clear the President is not up to the job, that his entire administration is willing to thumb its nose at the Constitution. Though Pelosi’s House will not hold @POTUS accountable, it’s incumbent upon House Republicans to call out his egregious violations of his oath of office,” Gibbs tweeted.

The resolution will certainly not pass in the Democrat-led House, but the point has been made that some Republicans are clearly ready for Biden’s removal from office.
