A leading group of conservative House Republicans are calling on President Biden and key members of his Cabinet to resign in the wake of the U.S.’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus returned to Capitol Hill Tuesday while on recess to propose three resolutions calling for the resignations of Mr. Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley.

“America faces a great division coming into this era of unspeakable grief as we look upon the failure of our executive branch to execute a well-planned withdrawal of American forces, citizens, allies and weaponry in Afghanistan,” said Rep. Clay Higgins, Louisiana Republican, who introduced the resolutions…

Mr. Higgins was joined by 25 Republican co-sponsors in the House

While sharply critical, the majority of lawmakers have so far stopped short of calling for anyone’s job. The…resolution that Mr. Biden…should step down marks a significant escalation in rhetoric…

While House Republicans remain incensed with the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal and by the fact that U.S. citizens remain in Afghanistan after all troops have departed, the party’s leaders are far from on-board with the demand for mass resignations at this point…

The resolutions also stand little chance with Democrats in the majority in both the House and Senate.

But House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Andy Biggs, Arizona Republican, told The Washington Times Tuesday that he thinks the measures will gain steam, even among some Democrats…

“They’re angry,” he said, speaking of his House colleagues…”

Heavenly Father, help those at our Capitol to make wise decisions without further division of our country. We are in need of a stronger and righteous leader. Amen

We know satan seeks to pervert all things good with disorder, death, and destruction. He is ever warring with The One God, The Almighty, the Author of Order, Life and Creation. Jesus tells us “the work of God is to believe in the One He sent” and faith and works go hand in hand, “as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

John 6:29, James 2:2

Dear Heavenly Father, You see all the confusion surrounding us. But You know the origin of this chaos and most importantly, You know its end. Lord, please guide these men in their minds and spirits to work diligently, in both prayer and action. Please nurture our faith and bring it to abundance in the United States. Draw those who do not know You to cry out to You and be saved. I humbly ask that our belief in Jesus would be all consuming, in trust and reliance. I call out to You for our nation Father. I praise the Name of Jesus Christ over abortion, drought, the border, fires, floods, hurricanes…indifference. I confess I am such a sinner Father “but thanks to You, I have victory through my Lord Jesus Christ! Show us how to be steadfast and immovable. Lead us to excel in Your Work Lord because this labor will not in vain!” Amen
