The Senate will decide whether to convict and remove Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but the trial could be short-lived. Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to impeach Mayorkas, but the Senate, with Democrats in the majority, is unlikely to hold a lengthy trial.

Once the Senate receives the articles of impeachment for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas , it will decide whether he should be convicted and removed from office. But the impeachment trial of Mayorkas could be over almost as soon as it begins.

The Senate has three main options for avoiding a full trial, and all of them would only require a simple majority vote. "All of those would obviate the need for a full-on trial, which I think the chances of that happening are next to zero," said Paul Schiff Berman, the Walter S. Cox professor of law at the George Washington University School of Law. He said the Senate is not required to hold a trial, and he supports the Senate quickly dismissing the Mayorkas impeachment.
