Impeachment is warranted, but not how Pelosi is doing it

Even though the House has ample reason to impeach President Trump, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is launching the official impeachment probe in the wrong way.

Pelosi announced the beginning of the House investigation on her own authority. This step defies historical precedent and official prior understandings of how the process should work. The speaker should hold a vote of the full House as to whether to launch the inquiry. Only upon a majority vote should it proceed.
