The List: 96 House Democrats Supporting Impeachment Inquiry

[Qutzupalotl]

While there are varying degrees of how far critics of the President are willing to push the process, one relatively basic litmus test is whether lawmakers would support starting an impeachment inquiry, the first significant step in the process.

Of the 235 Democrats in the House, there are at least 96 -- according to a CNN count -- who've made public comments advocating at least for starting the impeachment inquiry process, while some have gone further.

Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a former Republican who has since become an independent, has also called for impeachment proceedings, bringing the total number of representatives to 97.

If your rep is not on the list, call the Capitol switchboard and they will direct you: [phone]

1. In other words, less than half of the 217 votes needed.

And yet people claim Pelosi is preventing an impeachment inquiry from commencing.

8. There is another list from the NY Times

It is updated daily and yesterday it didn't say 93 like CNN's list. Today it says 92 so I guess the totals are not 100% accurate. I mentioned this in another post and someone said that one of the Dem reps had a different number but since he had just come from the Dem caucus he was "the horse's mouth" and his info was probably the most reliable.

5. So your saying House Democrats think impeachment is a bad idea?

Since less than half support it?

I happen to agree.

6. 96 have actually come out. We have no idea how many support it. How many stay silent?
