Pelosi: "She'll cut your head off and you won't even know you're bleeding" - Daughter Alexandra

On June 11, 2019, the House passed HR 430, conferring any and all of Article 1 powers on the Judiciary Committee - i.e. all authority vested in the House by the Constitution. This is the same formal grant embodied in an Impeachment Inquiry resolution Thus an impeachment inquiry got underway while the pundits argued, and the White House carried on regardless. No further resolution was or is required : 'We are moving forward with impeachment' - House Judiciary Committee.

I see no reason why we have to announce every little step along the path to removing him from office. Just do it, and if he's shocked at the outcome, well so were we when voting results were announced.

Now the Judiciary Committee really can represent to the court reviewing the grand jury evidentiary request that it comes before the court as congress conducting an impeachment investigation.

The significance of HR 430, did not dawn on Congressional Representatives or the commentariat either.
