The House is not voting on impeaching Trump today — but here's why the vote still matters
A resolution vote will be the first of the full House under the formal impeachment inquiry and will put moderate lawmakers from both parties under scrutiny heading into the 2020 election.
It's not the vote to impeach the president. Rather, it formalizes the impeachment process and establishes rules of conduct going forward. The resolution establishes the ability for the White House to call and cross-examine witnesses in the phase-controlled by the Judiciary Committee, subject to approval from those in charge.
The White House says that the impeachment process is an"illegitimate sham" despite the upcoming House vote. Republicans in Congress have urged their House colleagues to vote against the measure. Lawmakers have not specified what time on Thursday the resolution will be discussed. If he testifies, he is expected to be asked by lawmakers about the aid money that was delayed to Ukraine after being approved by Congress.
