In simple terms, that a dolt like you can understand...ALL representatives of the people should put to a vote to begin formal impeachment. Hell, the House even bypassed the Judicial Committee against their own House rules. Right now, this dog and pony is a one sided [BLEEP] show the likes of SNL!

1998 was on the straight and narrow compared to this hack job.

Ferocious said it better than me, above.
The House can form committees without a floor vote. It's happened before.
And oh by the way,  if they had a vote, the motion would pass, so I don't understand why you want to die on that hill, other than Twitter or talk radio fed you that talking point this morning.
I would prefer they do this by yays and nays too.  I like to know who is for what.  But it's not required.
If this inquiry were not really the will of the house majority, Pelosi could be discharged by petition at any time.  That's the remedy. If Republicans in Congress thought your argument was serious and worthwhile, they would be putting that petition together.

Care to venture what House rules state? Congress works off of resolutions, not some weird facebook petition. Do you think Rep. Gaetz's resolution to remove Schiff will pass? What about Abraham's to expel Pelosi? The Dems haven't followed the rules up to this point or have changed them, which makes trying to remove Pelosi per those rules difficult at best.
How'd the last vote go? Looked like a pretty lopsided failure to me. So what makes you so sure it would pass? FYI, everything I have stated is backed up by the documented bi-partisan fact that you refuse to read. This isn't Dem or Rep as much as a Congressional free for all that we all suffer for. While you may sit in your mom's basement clapping Cheeto stained hands at this impeachment fantasy, the lack of order and partisan evil will set terrible precedence. Try to formulate a valid opinion outside of your emotional grip on some weird Lemon and Schiff (insert emotional buzzword here) talking points.
