A joint resolution providing for the issuance of a summons, providing for the appointment of a committee to receive and to report evidence, and establishing related procedures concerning the articles of impeachment against Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas.
SJRES 68 establishes the procedural steps for the U.S. Senate's impeachment trial of Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security. It requires Mayorkas to file a written response to the impeachment articles within 7 session days and appoints a 12-member Senate committee to gather evidence and submit a report within 90 days. The resolution mandates that the Senate convene as a court of impeachment 90 days after the committee is formed, detailing how documents like the articles and responses will be handled and printed. The bill ensures these procedures override any conflicting Senate rules on impeachment trials.
