By the standards used against Donald Trump, he certainly has.
At the end of President Trump's first term, congressional Democrats impeached and tried the president, and the one and only article of impeachment was for “incitement of insurrection.”
The focus of this charge was a statement made by the president telling the January 6th rally attendees that, "if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore”, the operative word there being “fight.” Of course, the assumption was the definition of the word fight can only include physical violence. The House managers must have never heard anyone say, “I’m going to fight this cancer with all my energy.” They certainly did not anticipate the president’s counsel playing video showing Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer and certain impeachment managers using the word “fight” and not being charged with anything. The implication was that the president encouraged and incited violence at the Capitol, one of the results of which was the murder of a Capitol police officer. This charge was specifically included in the article. We know now it was a lie and there was no evidence then to make such a charge.
The constitutional text covering impeachment requirements includes the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The generally accepted viewpoint is that this describes any serious abuse of power, including legal and illegal activities. Any civil officer can be impeached for misconduct, violation of oath of office, or serious incompetence.
Joe Biden, in the early days of his presidency, issued executive orders stopping the construction of the border wall and the Keystone pipeline. Regarding the pipeline, this order put Americans out of work with the justification being the claim by so-called environmentalists that pipelines cause irreparable harm to the landscape, the animal kingdom, and the climate.

And usually Dems have to mfg lies to get it done (/s).
If he were actually impeached, wouldn’t that acknowledge him as the President? (which he isn’t)
The man that calls himself “Biden” is 78? I think a lot younger than that. I think he actually is in his 50’s. Watch over the last 12 weeks clips where he is quite nimble and fit, able to leap into Marine 1 two steps at a time. Also, he is a great actor, obviously his specialty is acting senile, as he feigns falling three times up stairs, and appears to be able to read lines with convincing senility.
I think BidAn should get an Oscar for his stellar 10 week performance, which is starting to appear to be at an end now. With no documented activity commencing today (just checked again his schedule, and last day of “work” still yesterday, Friday).
>>>Has Joe Biden Committed Impeachable Offenses?<<<
Only if we have a pro-American, pro-Constitutional congress . . . otherwise, nah, he’s safe from any of those kind of charges. Only someone like the Donald fo-fi can be impeshed, according to Mad Maxxie.
Problem with impeaching Biden is you get Kneepads Harris....
Not as long as pelosi is speaker.
Is that rhetorical?
the murder of a Capitol police officer. This charge was specifically included in the article. We know now it was a lie and there was no evidence then to make such a charge.
You have to be elected to be impeached.
Murder of a capitol police officer?
The article is irretrievably tainted by lies.

impeachable offenses are whatever the House says they are...
IF you held the rats to the same standard as GEOTUS Trump, Definately
from his days in CONgress onward. Joseph Stolen is also a criminal.
