The rise of impeachment as a weapon of partisan politics

Season 2024 Episode 13 | 7m 01s

House Republicans are pressing ahead with efforts to impeach both President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas. Only one cabinet official has ever been impeached, in 1876. Sarah Binder, a professor of political science at George Washington University, joins John Yang to discuss whether what was intended to be a check on presidential power has become a modern-day political weapon.
