Bill Explanation

This bill, officially known as S. Res. 622, outlines the procedures for the impeachment of Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas. The bill provides for the issuance of a summons to Mayorkas, which requires him to file an answer to the articles of impeachment within a certain time frame. It also establishes a committee of 12 Senators to receive and report evidence related to the impeachment. The committee is given the authority to enforce its subpoenas or orders, and to print reports and other documents for submission to the Senate. The bill also outlines the timeline for the committee's work and the termination of the committee once the Senate has reached a judgment on the impeachment. Finally, the bill sets a specific date for the Senate to convene as a Court of Impeachment to consider the articles of impeachment. The Secretary of the Senate is responsible for notifying the House of Representatives and Mayorkas' counsel about the bill.
