mrs. capito: thank you.am president, i rise today because we really are at an historic time for this chamber. soon the house of representatives is expected to send over articles of impeachment against a cabinet officer for only the second time in our nation's history. this is not routine business. instead this is a very serious moment. on february 13, the house agreed to articles of impeachment against department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas for, quote, willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law, end of quote. and, quote, breach of public trust, end of quote. this chamber will soon have a constitutional duty to uphold. and i firmly believe that the senate, the u.s. senate must conduct a full impeachment inquiry trial for mr. mayorkas. it requires a vote of two thirds of the senate present before the federal officer is convicted. that's a pretty high standard for a constitutional process. for every impeachment in our history, the senate has held some form of a trial. unless the f
