Career[]
On November 18, 2020, Rendon introduced House Resolution No. 324 to impeach Governor Whitmer.[3][4][5] The state senate majority leader and state house speaker (both Republicans) opposed calls for impeachment, calling it "shameful".[5][6][7] The resolution was "dead on arrival", as the legislature had been adjourned and not expected to take action in a lame duck session.[5][6][7]
On December 2020, Rendon and Matt Maddock joined a federal lawsuit filed by Trump supporters to overturn the election results.The suit asked for state lawmakers to certify the election results, therefore letting the Republican-led Michigan Legislature to overturn Biden's victory in the state. The judge dismissed the suit, stating that their arguments were "flat-out wrong" and "a fundamental and obvious misreading of the Constitution."[8]
