 Previously, Congressman Kelly Armstrong published the text of a resolution on behalf of members of the US House of Representatives to continue an investigation with the aim of impeaching US President Joe Biden. This vote is not about impeaching the president or not, but is a legal step to give greater authority to the committee involved in the investigation to carry out the investigation. The resolution requires the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees to conduct their own investigations into allegations that Biden and his family abused their position and political influence in accepting bribes. US House of Representatives Jim Jordan and James Comer, two influential Republican lawmakers considered the House vote a "clear message" that "the majority of Americans look to the Biden family for their multimillion-dollar income". Mike Johnson, Speaker of the US House of Representatives earlier said that the impeachment of US President Biden was necessary because the White House had obstructed investigations into alleged misconduct by people close to the head of state.

Joe Biden Impeachment Investigation Begins Regarding the formal approval of the start of Biden's impeachment, Johnson said, Evidence shows that the Biden family received millions of dollars from foreigners. Johnson also said that much of the Judiciary Committee did a good job looking for evidence of wrongdoing among members of the Biden family, but the White House prevented this and hid thousands of pages of documents. Three Republican-led congressional committees have accused US President Joe Biden of accepting bribes and corruption during his tenure as vice president. Biden has denied the allegations, and the House committee has not provided any evidence to support their claims. Joe Biden blasted House Republicans for what he called a "shot in the dark", saying, Republicans are focused on attacking me with lies and wasting their time to baseless political deception. Republican lawmakers claim that Biden and his family illegally profited from Biden's decisions while serving as vice president from 2009 to 2017. The House Oversight Committee accused the Biden family and their business partners of receiving more than $24 million from foreign sources in China, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia and Ukraine from 2014 to 2019.

The Republican investigation is focused on the business dealings of Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has defied demands by Republican lawmakers to testify in person regarding his business dealings, raising tensions with Republican lawmakers. Republicans have long considered Hunter Biden his father's biggest political problem. On Wednesday (12/13/2023), the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution with 221 votes in favor and 212 votes against to officially begin an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. If they can link Hunter Biden's business and personal affairs to his father, it could potentially harm Biden's reputation with American voters. It seems that one of the goals of the Republican Party, especially supporters of former President Donald Trump, is to take revenge on the Democratic Party for impeaching Trump twice during his presidency. At that time, the Democratic Party had a majority in the US House of Representatives, and especially Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House at the time, who had deep differences with Trump, played an important role in pushing for this impeachment.

At the same time, the Republican Party views Trump's impeachment as an action that has political and party goals, especially to weaken Trump's position in the 2020 presidential election, and condemns it. Now the Democratic Party is taking a similar position to the Republican Party's position regarding Biden's impeachment and believes that Biden's impeachment efforts are actually an action aimed at discrediting and reducing his popularity ahead of the presidential election in November 2024. Therefore, all Democratic members of the House of Representatives voted against starting the Biden impeachment investigation. This Is What Trump Says; Biden Pays Back My Impeachment A formal impeachment inquiry if it leads to a vote in the House and a trial in the Senate could be a major problem for Joe Biden this election season. Of course, if this investigation leads to Biden's impeachment in the Senate, it will not lead to Biden's removal because of the Democratic majority in the Senate.

At the same time, the American public, given the country's many domestic and foreign problems, views the Republican Party's efforts to impeach Biden as mere political action. US President Joe Biden From their perspective, instead of addressing important problems and issues, this country's politicians in Congress are spending America's time and money on political and party games with the goal of eliminating rival political parties. In a survey conducted in early September 2023, only about 41% of survey participants said they supported the idea of ​​impeaching Biden in Congress because of his connection to allegations related to Hunter Biden, and the remaining 35% were against it and 24% of them also said they were not sure about it. positive or negative opinion about this idea.
