House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has asked the House to open an impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden, accusing
a vote, but didn’t rule one in eventually, either. But a vote, if one is eventually held, would likely be hard to win. Eighteen House Republicans represent districts that voted for Biden, and most Biden voters have no desire to impeach the president.
Setting in motion an impeachment inquiry is a preliminary step and does not lead inevitably to a formal impeachment vote. Specific charges need not be presented before a vote to launch an inquiry; the inquiry is designed to collect evidence. There are not many historical precedents, Gerhardt said,"so it is hard to generalize" how a formal investigation would play out.
It’s also unclear how long the investigative process could take. For now, Bowman said, it appears that"the House has nothing," suggesting to him that the point of the investigation would be"to create smoke. Therefore, the amount of time will be based purely on the desired political effect."
