How did Tennessee representatives vote in Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment?

House Republicans failed to secure the vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. It wasn't for a lack of trying on Tennessee Rep. Mark Green's part.

Green, who is the Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, was seen on the House floor on Tuesday attempting to convince one of the three Republicans who voted against the impeachment of Mayorkas.

The two articles of impeachment brought forth by House Republicans accused Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and a “breach of public trust.” Mayorkas, GOP lawmakers argue, has intentionally allowed the crisis at the border to continue, reported USA Today.

“We have not approached this process lightly. Secretary Mayorkas’ actions have forced our hand. We cannot allow this border crisis to continue,” Green said in his opening statement on Tuesday, contending that Mayorkas has willfully declined to enforce existing immigration laws to address the border.

Here's a look at how the vote went and what's next in the proceedings.
