Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., told Newsmax on Wednesday that the Constitution provides federal lawmakers with “a remedy” to rein in public servants, like Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who are not fulfilling their obligations to the American people.

During an appearance on “National Report,” Brecheen said that now that the House has delivered the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to the Senate, a trial should be held, even though it appears likely that the Democrat-controlled upper chamber will vote to dismiss the matter.

“Unlike the days of our founding era, where in [the Federalist Papers, No. 65] it says that impeachment is to be used by the legislative body to be a bridle to be used upon the executive servants of the government, we know what’s going to happen here,” Brecheen said. “Forget that he’s discarded the rule of law … Congress constitutionally said in the Immigration and Nationality Act, if you come into this country illegally, you are to be detained until there’s a proceeding.”
