IMPEACHMENT VOTE: Case against Trump to go public

The New York Times
A Vote on Impeachment
House Democrats have decided they now have enough evidence to make their case in public.
Nov. 1, 2019, 6:00 a.m. ET

The House of Representatives voted to begin the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump — one which will be open to public scrutiny.

Two Democrats in the House broke ranks and voted against the resolution, which outlined rules for the impeachment process. That was the only complication to an otherwise clean partisan split, with all House Republicans voting against the measure.

The tally foreshadowed the battle to come as Democrats take their case against the president fully into public view. Today, we discuss what the next phase of the inquiry will look like.

Because they didn't "impeach" the Criminal In Thief sooner, most people would think this OP would get more replies and recommendations. But, as I've written many times on other OPs, the Republican controlled Senate will not throw the criminal out of office. It takes a 2/3 majority vote, in the senate, to actually remove a U.S. President from office. I hope House Democrats can make the investigations last until right before the election.
