speaker mike johnson says he will move it. if he does, will he keep his job? there's word he will, but only because democrats want him for something. we'll explain the political horse trading there, but first to the senate where senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is speaking now. let's listen. >> the details of their case against secretary mayorkas, that he willingly neglected the duties of his office and that he lied to congress about the extent of that failure, likewise, we will not hear the secretary's representatives present the vigorous defense to which he's entitled. our colleagues know that we are obligated to take these proceedings seriously. this is what our oath prescribes, it's what will the history and precedent require, and i would urge each of our colleagues to consider that this is what the framers envisioned. the power of impeachment is one of the most delicate balances our constitutional system strikes with a portion of the american people's sovereign electoral authority, purchases a safeguard against malpractice and gives the senate the p
