BREAKING: House Democrats post text of impeachment resolution that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has set for a full House showdown vote this week.
House Democrats on Tuesday posted the text of an impeachment resolution Speaker Nancy Pelosi has set for a full House showdown vote on Thursday.
The resolution empowers House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff with the responsibility to “designate an open hearing or hearings,” where the Republicans and Democrats will have “equal specified periods of longer than five minutes,” to question witnesses. It also states there could be multiple periods of questions, but “not exceeding 90 minutes in the aggregate.”
If Schiff concurs, Nunes could also issue a subpoena for a witnesses, and is authorized to seek the production of “books, records, correspondence, memoranda, papers and documents.” The Intelligence Committee is directed to issue a report to the Judiciary Committee on its findings as well as any potential recommendations.
The last line of the resolution empowers Judiciary with the ability to send articles of impeachment to the House floor: “The Committee on the Judiciary shall report to the House of Representatives such resolutions, articles of impeachment, or other recommendations as it deems proper.” House Republicans say they will not cooperate with Democrats, arguing the process has been tainted by Democratic singular rule on the closed-door depositions to date.
