The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,\u201d McCarthy told Breitbart News. \u201cThat\u2019s why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the People\u2019s House and not through a declaration by one person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doing so would require a majority\u2014at least 218 votes, assuming the House is at full attendance for such a vote\u2014of members of the House to vote for such a move. While opening a formal impeachment inquiry is not a vote to impeach the president, it is a massive escalation by the lower chamber of Congress towards doing so\u2014and it would also provide the House with extraordinary new investigative and law enforcement powers in terms of compelling testimony, enforcing subpoenas, and digging into Biden\u2019s behavior and the culture of corruption surrounding the president.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the Democrats always win.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi authorized an impeachment inquiry against President Trump over Ukraine without a full House vote.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are destroying the country on every front.
