The Adam Schiff Empowerment Act
Rep. Adam Schiff listens to public questions on impeachment at a conversation session with Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer, titled "A Constitutional Clash: A Separation of Powers In A Tumultuous Time," at Los Angeles Police Headquarters Thursday, May 30, 2019. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still isn't ready to impeach President Donald Trump. Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House intelligence committee, said Thursday in California he's not urging impeachment yet, "though the president seems to be doing everything in his power to get me there." Schiff warned that impeachment is not a "cure all." He said, "Impeachment doesn't remove this president. There is only one way to remove this president, and that's by voting him out of office." | (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

House Democrats plan to pass their Trump impeachment resolution Thursday. Its full description is: “Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes.”

A better and much shorter title would be the Adam Schiff Empowerment Act.
