FYI, 217 votes needed to impeach

FYI, since two House seats are vacant, the total number of Representatives is 433

https://pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/party-breakdown

Half of that number is 216.5. So 217 votes are needed to impeach in the House, assuming all members are present and voting.
