As the US House of Representatives moves forward with an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden, we look at the next steps. The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives 'shall have the sole Power of Impeachment' (Article I, section 2) and 'the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments' (Article I, section 3).
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Thursday introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden over his handling of various issues.

House Republicans are preparing to let the push for potential impeachment proceedings dominate their agenda over the next few months, causing a divide within the party. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says Republicans in Congress may launch an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden over unproven allegations, further fueling the controversy.
