A Republican senator has warned that former Democratic presidents could be impeached along with Donald Trump.

According to The Guardian, on Saturday, January 23, Texas Republican senator John Cornyn tweeted at House majority leader Chuck Schumer, stating that, if Republicans retake Congress in two years’ time, they could attempt to prosecute past Democrat presidents.

Schumer tweeted: "Our plan will allow us to do President Biden’s nominations, COVID relief, and the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. As we said, we can get all three done, and we will."

But then Cornyn wrote in reply: "No, it takes unanimous consent. But you already knew that.

"BTW, if it is a good idea to impeach and try former Presidents, what about former Democratic Presidents when Republicans get the majority in 2022? Think about it and let’s do what is best for the country."

This statement comes not long after Marjorie Taylor Greene, Representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district, took to Twitter to post a video claiming that she had filed articles of impeachment against Biden the day after his inauguration as the 46th President of the United States.

The Republican Congresswoman took to Twitter again, on Thursday, January 21, to post a full statement, in which she claimed that Biden was "unfit to hold the office of the Presidency."

She wrote:

"President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the presidency.

"His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama's Vice President is lengthy and disturbing.

"President Biden has demonstrated that he will do whatever it takes to bail out his son, Hunter, and line his family's pockets with cash from corrupt foreign energy companies.'"

The Independent reports that Greene had filed articles alleging that Joe Biden moved to block vital aid to Ukraine during the Obama administration in order to protect his son Hunter from corruption charges.

The publication goes on to report that a Senate investigation by Republicans in 2020 found no evidence of corruption and no evidence that Hunter's work for Burisma had any influence on US foreign policy.

Greene initially announced her plans to file articles of impeachment against Biden on January 13. Taking to Twitter, she shared with her 281K followers: "On January 21, 2021, I'll be filing Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden for abuse of power."

Twitter suspended Greene's account for 12 hours on Saturday after Greene consistently violated the platform's new rules that were put in place following the deadly US Capitol riot on January 6.

A Twitter spokesperson told NBC News: "The account referenced has been temporarily locked out for multiple violations of our civic integrity policy."
