Will Nancy hold a vote in the House before there are Articles of Impeachment?

There is no rule that says she must. She is in charge of the House, just as McConnell is in charge of the Senate. When Mitch allows a vote in the Senate, then she may consider a vote in the House?

The House has the sole authority to impeach. Trump is not impeached until Articles of Impeachment are passed by the whole House. At the present time, it is in the investigation stage. There is no vote required.

It is a distraction by Trump and the Republicans. However, they should be careful of what they wish, they might just get it?

Presently, the Republicans are using the lack of a full vote in the House as an excuse to defy subpoenas. Nancy sees it as obstruction of justice and the Courts may ultimately agree with her?

I trust Nancy to drag their sorry asses down to the House Jail if they don’t comply.

She will only have to do it once. The others will follow.

They will be able to vote on the charges of the indictments. When the interviews and testimony is finished.
