Rep. Elise Stefanik, the No. 4 House of Representatives Republican, and hardline Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a pair of resolutions that if enacted would aim to change the record "as if such articles had never been passed." Republicans control the House 222-212.
Georgetown University Law Professor Jonathan Turley, whose expert advice Republicans sometimes seek, noted that the U.S. Constitution contains no provision for expunging impeachments. Turley said expungement could still be historically significant by declaring the earlier impeachments in error. "However, that is the view of a different Congress at a different time," he said.
Democrats called the move questionable, saying it demonstrated Republican fealty to the former president.
