Biden Impeachment Faces Long Odds, Republicans Say
- Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said Biden can't be impeached for actions before becoming president
- Mullin warned House Republicans that impeachment charges must be over actions taken while Biden was in his current office
- Many Senate Republicans voted to acquit Trump in his second impeachment trial on technical grounds that he was out of office
- Two other GOP senators warned that House efforts to impeach Biden have little chance of convicting him in the Democratic-led Senate
- Convicting and removing a president takes 67 Senate votes, requiring at least 18 Democrats to turn against Biden
