Your meaning is unclear. Impeachment happens only if the majority of the House vote for it -- so does your second question mean "don't vote on impeachment now" or "don't vote on impeachment at all?

such as beginning an impeachment inquiry to gather evidence to support formal impeachment proceedings, or continuing with the various committee investigations that are gathering that evidence even without calling their investigations impeachment inquiries. There are several ways to do this thing; the question isn't whether to do it, but how and when.

No wishy washy answers. Yes or no.

But to satisfy everyone, I modified the first question. Many people here seem to be against impeachment for political reasons. They're worried that beginning impeachment hearings will backfire and give trump a win in 2020

And no it’s not fence riding it’s looking at the facts for what they are.
