Why Hasn't Biden Faced Impeachment Yet?

What exactly has taken so long for the impeachment of President Biden?

Skeptics argue that the Republican Party has failed to find any substantial evidence of criminal behavior. This suggests a lack of substantive charges against the President, leaving the discussion centered more on politics than on actual wrongdoing.

The critics often point out that not every political disagreement or opinion discrepancy is enough to justify the impeachment process. As one might expect, Trump supporters often attempt to inflate minor issues or political disputes into grounds for impeachment. However, actual impeachment requires evidence of actionable offenses, not just personal dissatisfaction or dislike.

Since the investigative committee has not uncovered any significant wrongdoings, we must acknowledge that President Biden has stood as a figure of integrity and honesty, albeit with occasional flaws. In contrast, the impeachment of Trump was based on explicit violations of his presidential duties, including attempts to influence foreign entities and the January 6th insurrection.

Impeachment Cases Against Trump: A Recap

Two separate cases led to Trump's impeachment:

Abuse of power: Trump withheld funds that had been approved by Congress to pressure a foreign nation to interfere in the 2020 elections by framing Joe Biden as an operative of Ukraine. This directly benefited Trump's personal interests rather than the national interest. Potential crimes related to the insurrection of January 6th: While Trump was never criminally convicted, the Senate's rejection of impeachment was largely due to the SCOTUS's interference and judicial malpractice.

Both cases had clear evidence and resulted in the conviction of a legally permissible felon who, among other crimes, attempted to incite a violent mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The Current Impeachment Landscape for Biden

The present situation with Biden is starkly different. Republicans can attempt two primary strategies:

Erective acts: Wait for Biden to commit a genuinely impeachable offense, an outcome many believe to be unlikely. Non-truthful politics: Impeach him based on a false conspiracy theory to cater to partisan supporters. This option is also considered highly improbable.

Given the current political climate, it seems that those who seek to revenge-impeach Biden are relying on their own irrational beliefs and are unlikely to succeed. The reality is that, despite the unfavorable political climate, the likelihood of impeachment remains low, as it demands concrete, verifiable offenses, not just political grievances.

Conclusion

Impeachment is a serious matter requiring evidence of specific, legally actionable offenses. The continued focus on baseless accusations against Biden simply highlights the issues with the institutional process and the lack of substantive evidence. As things stand, the chances of Biden facing impeachment are slim, ultimately turning into an exercise in political posturing rather than a genuine legal proceeding.
