A joint resolution to provide for related procedures concerning the articles of impeachment against Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security.

This bill (SJRES 69) establishes the procedural rules for the U.S. Senate's trial of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas if the House of Representatives transmits articles of impeachment against him. It sets specific deadlines: Mayorkas has 7 business days to file his answer after the House transmits the articles, and the House has 7 business days to file its response after the summons. The resolution also outlines the timeline for evidence submission, opening presentations (each side gets up to 24 hours over 3 days), questioning of parties, and final voting on each article of impeachment. This procedural bill directly affects Mayorkas (the defendant) and the House of Representatives (the prosecutor) in the impeachment trial process.
