I am on the House Judiciary Committee. This is what I am going to read this evening.

This is the House Judiciary Committee. Fun fact: If there are impeachment proceedings, this is where it would start. Just sayin'.

So its notable that Lieu, who also has a Judicial Doctorate and practiced law while he was an Air Force JAG, has confirmed that hes researching the impeachment process while stressing that he sits on the committee where impeachment begins.

I found this info on Impeachment:
Impeachment Primer
1. A motion for impeachment is made in the house with the charges described [ Indictment ]
2. Debate ensues
3. Vote
4. Majority vote means House has determined that probable cause does exist thus The accused is now Impeached
5. The charges move to the senate for the trial
6. The trial Judge is the Chief Justice ( Roberts )
7. Evidence presented
8. Testimony
9. Defense
10. It takes a 2/3 majority vote for conviction 67 senators
In the history of our country no President has ever been convicted

Great info! Seems like a long shot, though, since Republicans control things, but maybe in 2018.
