Biden previously had mocked Republicans over a possible impeachment and the White House said they have no basis to do so.
[1/4]U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) calls for an impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Joe Biden while delivering a statement on allegations surrounding President Biden and his son Hunter Biden, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., September 12, 2023.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the impeachment inquiry "absurd."
Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 as he faced an impeachment vote.
