Biden impeachment inquiry explained: what is happening and could the president be convicted?

The US House of Representatives has voted to formally open an impeachment inquiry into Biden - without any evidence he has committed wrongdoing

The US House of Representatives has voted to formally open an impeachment inquiry into president Joe Biden, moving forward a process that has been promised by Republican leaders since they regained control of the lower chamber in midterm elections in 2022.

Although no evidence has been produced, Republicans have accused Biden and his family of personally profiting from his position while vice-president under Barack Obama.
