Folks PLEASE! STOP attacking the Dems for not impeaching TODAY

[StarfishSaver]

154. Impeachment is a legislative process governed by House rules, not the Constitution (except that the

rules can't conflict with the Constitution)

The House can change its rules at any time, but such changes are also a legislative process that have to be voted on through the normal course of legislative business. Pelosi can't just change the rules on her own. The House would have to come together to vote on the rule change. And many rule changes require a super-majority.

Under House rules as they now stand, any piece of legislation to be voted on must be placed on the calendar a certain number of days in advance of the vote. That rule can be suspended - and often it is for less important pieces of legislation - if 2/3 of the House votes to put the legislation on the Suspension Calendar. There's no way 2/3 of the House will agree to put impeachment on the Suspension Calendar. And even if they did, the vote to suspend couldn't happen until Monday at the earliest.

I hope that's helpful.
