Democrats plan to introduce articles of impeachment as early as Monday

From CNN's Lauren Fox, Manu Raju and Jamie Gangel

House Democrats are currently planning to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump as soon as Monday, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

That could set up a vote in the House early to the middle of next week. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has not explicitly said when this will go to the floor.

...since they adjourned right after the certification vote.

They didn’t impeach right away because Pelosi announced she was giving Republicans twenty-four hours to use the 25th Amendment first.

followed, the papers completed, approved and then signed by various controllers, etc.

This is more painful than being at a sports event, having to piss so bad that it hurts, and there is no movement in a line of 100 people ahead of me.
