Nancy Pelosi is rejecting calls by President Trump and his GOP allies to hold a full vote on whether to authorize an impeachment inquiry.
Christal Hayes and Ledyard KingWASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she is rejecting calls by President Donald Trump and his GOP allies to hold a full vote on whether to authorize an impeachment inquiry.
Trump has vowed not to cooperate with the inquiry unless the House holds a vote to officially launch it. Democrats in turn had considered holding such a vote, potentially in case courts said such a move was necessary to compel administration officials and other potential witnesses in the investigation to provide documents and appear for testimony.
The Constitution gives the House the"sole power of impeachment" and offers few details on how the process should take place.
