Joshua Matz Co-Authors Op-Ed in The Washington Post: “Why impeaching Mayorkas would violate the Constitution”

The Washington Post published an op-ed entitled “Why impeaching Mayorkas would violate the Constitution” by Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP Partner Joshua Matz and Norman Eisen. The authors conclude that whatever the wisdom of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’s policy decisions, the claim that he should be impeached is indefensible as a matter of constitutional law. Matz and Eisen point to the many tools Congress can use to shape public policy and express disagreement with the executive, and note that “to ensure that the president could govern — and that he could select a Cabinet to execute his vision — the framers forbade impeachment over policy disagreements, no matter how fierce or consequential.”
