Under the arcana of the committee’s rules‚ however‚ Mr. Trump cannot simply install someone. A new election must take place‚ and Mr. Whatley could face internal party dissent. Ms. McDaniel has faced months of pressure‚ a campaign from Trump-allied forces to unseat her and growing dissatisfaction and anxiety in the Trump camp about the strained finances of the R.N.C. as the general election cycle begins early. Then-candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called on McDaniel to resign during a presidential primary debate in November.

Four Republicans joined Democrats to vote no on the impeachment. 214-216: The GOP-led House vote to impeach DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border fails.

Rep. Tom McClintockRep. Ken BuckRep. Mike GallagherRep. Blake Moore Shame on all of them. — Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) February 7‚ 2024 The Hill reports: The 214-216 vote is a stunning loss for a GOP that has faced continual pressure from its right flank to impeach a Biden official‚ even as the party has waffled over which one to focus on. The failure came about because of the surprise appearance in the chamber of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas)‚ who showed up unexpectedly — having recently had surgery and wearing hospital scrubs and no socks‚ according to NBC — to vote against the bill. Republicans entered the vote with two expected GOP “no” votes from Reps. Ken Buck (Colo.) and Tom McClintock (Calif.)‚ but then a third House GOP lawmaker‚ Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.)‚ also voted against impeachment. The surprise “no” vote prompted numerous GOP colleagues to gather around Gallagher for a lengthy conversation before the vote closed. Democrats at several moments erupted in howls of “order‚” asking that the vote be closed when it was poised to fail. A fourth Republican‚ Rep. Blake Moore (R-Utah)‚ the vice chair of the GOP conference‚ then flipped his vote to “no” seconds before the vote closed‚ a procedural move that allows the conference to bring the legislation back to the floor at a later date. Four House Republicans voted against the impeachment of Mayorkas: Mike Gallagher‚ Tom McClintock‚ Ken Buck‚ and Blake Moore Moore* voted no but only as a matter of procedure so Republicans could bring the impeachment resolution back. pic.twitter.com/TqnmK8DtWM — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) February 7‚ 2024 “There was a motion to recommit. That means that we can bring the Articles of Impeachment back to the floor maybe as early as next week. So‚ this is not over yet‚” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commented. WATCH: .@RepMTG following failed impeachment vote of Secretary Mayorkas: "There was a motion to recommit. That means that we can bring the Articles of Impeachment back to the floor maybe as early as next week. So‚ this is not over yet." pic.twitter.com/wkccz1LyRL — CSPAN (@cspan) February 7‚ 2024 From the Associated Press: House Speaker Mike Johnson’s spokesman Raj Shah said they “fully intend” to reconsider the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas “when we have the votes for passage.” But next steps are uncertain. In the end‚ three Republicans opposed the impeachment‚ and a fourth Republican switched his vote so the measure could be revisited. The final tally was 214-216. The outcome was another dismal result for the House Republicans who have repeatedly been unable to use their majority power to accomplish political goals‚ or even to keep up with the basics of governing. Johnson‚ who could afford only a few defections from his ranks‚ had said earlier he had personally spoken to Gallagher and another GOP holdout‚ acknowledging the “heavy‚ heavy” vote as he sought their support. “It’s an extreme measure‚” said Johnson‚ R-La. “But extreme times call for extreme measures.” Not since 1876 has a Cabinet secretary faced impeachment charges and it’s the first time a sitting secretary is being impeached — 148 years ago‚ Secretary of War William Belknap resigned just before the vote. The impeachment charges against Mayorkas come as border security is fast becoming a top political issue in the 2024 election‚ a particularly potent line of attack being leveled at President Joe Biden by Republicans‚ led by the party’s front-runner for the presidential nomination‚ Donald Trump.

A new draft law in Kazakhstan would surgically remove the genitals of convicted pedophiles. MPs reportedly have complained the system of chemical castration is not deterring child sex offenders. Elnur Beisenbaev‚ executive secretary of Kazakhstan's ruling Аманат party‚ says chemical castration for pedophiles is not enough.

Killer Saidolim Gayibnazarov‚ 48‚ who had previous convictions‚ was sentenced to life in jail and chemical castration. ‘The government says our amendment for surgical castration of paedophiles violates human rights‚’ said the MP‚ a father of four‚ who intends to keep pressing for the new law. ‘We don’t suggest applying it to all paedophiles‚ but we’d like to give courts an option of having surgical castration. ‘If a paedophile attack is especially cruel‚ I believe surgical castration must be applied… ‘There were about 430 crimes of this kind committed against our children lately. ‘Our government demonstrates its lack of backbone by not approving surgical castration‚ as if we violate the rights of paedophiles‚ because paedophiles are human beings. ‘I believe they are not human beings.’ Good! – Kazakhstan will surgically remove pedophiles' genitals under new draft law after complaints that chemical castration was not harsh enough.https://t.co/04Wz61xcCP — Signs Of The Times (@SOTTnet) February 6‚ 2024 Last year‚ Russia introduced legislation to consider forced chemical castration of pedophiles similar to the system already operating in Kazakhstan. Putin Introduces Forced Chemical Castration for ALL Pedophiles in Russia https://t.co/KfT8J9ZvnP — Truthseeker (@Xx17965797N) June 22‚ 2023 Per Daily Mail: Russia is moving towards forced chemical castration of paedophiles‚ a system already operating in neighbouring Kazakhstan. A pro-Putin political party in Moscow has produced new legislation which is under review by the government. Russian ally Belarus has already moved to use such a method of castration against convicted child sex offenders. Current laws in Russia have failed to prevent rising paedophile attacks on children‚ according to the ultranationalist Liberal Democratic Party. One brutal alleged attack last month on two girls aged ten and 12 was by a returning fighter from Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. Named only as Sergei Sh‚ he was wearing his Wagner mercenary army uniform when he threatened the schoolgirls before raping them the day after he arrived in his home city from the war. He told them he would blow them up with a grenade unless they submitted to him.
