What will be the total votes to send Articles of Impeachment to the Senate?

[kentuck]

It should be a vote of the full House.

How many Repubs will vote to send Articles to the Senate? Very few?

How many Democrats will vote to not send the Articles at this time?

Is it possible that the House might vote to not send the Articles at this time?

1. How the hell would we know?

Nancy Pelosi knows, however, and she wouldn't call for the resolution unless she knew she had enough votes.

[kentuck]

2. Maybe she doesn't want "enough votes"?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. She knows what she's doing, I think.

Maybe you have more inside knowledge than I do, but I trust that she has as many votes as she thinks are necessary.

[kentuck]

4. We don't know what she is thinking.

Maybe she doesn't want to send the Articles over at this time? Twenty Democrats could prevent it from happening. If it was some sort of strategic move?

She and McConnell are playing chess.

5. Why do we have to know what she's thinking?

[kentuck]

6. You don't have to know anything.

Just trying to light a candle.

7. Just the usual "concern" nt

[kentuck]

8. No concern.

Just a topic for discussion.

Am I in the wrong place?

11. It is never a good idea for a Speaker to call for a vote and lose.

She's not playing that game.

[kentuck]

13. If she doesn't call for a vote..?

Can we assume she doesn't have the votes?

[onenote]

15. Yep.

9. I thought there would be no articles sent until mitch agreed to have a fair trial⁹

[kentuck]

10. That was the thought within the post.

Could enough Democrats make the decision to not send them over, over the objections of leadership, until they can get assurances of a "fair trial"?

12. If it goes to a vote... they're getting sent

I doubt that Republicans would have any trouble rounding up votes to send them over if some Democrats balk. If some members want to continue to withhold them, they need to convince Pelosi prior to the vote.

[kentuck]

14. Makes sense.

[AncientGeezer]

16. I'll bet every R votes to send....they want them killed in the Senate

They'd have to be on crack to vote no.

[kentuck]

17. You may be right..

Unless they thought a no vote would appease their Dear Leader.
