House will take impeachment inquiry vote: Speaker Johnson

It looks like the impeachment inquiry vote on President Joe Biden will take place. It was started by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and current Speaker Mike Johnson is likely to formalize it, according to The American Tribune. The political news report added:

The vote will be a test of unity for Republicans, particularly after Rep. Santos’ removal, as the majority they hold is only a few seats, so more than a few not backing the measure will block it. However, as the impeachment inquiry was not formally approved by vote when former Speaker McCarthy opened it on Sep. 12, Speaker Johnson is arguing that a vote to formally adopt it is necessary to help it obtain information blocked by the White House.Speaking on the matter and explaining why he thinks the House needs to go through with attempting a vote on the inquiry, Speaker Johnson said, “The House has no choice if it’s going to follow its constitutional responsibility to formally adopt an impeachment inquiry on the floor so that when the subpoenas are challenged in court, we will be at the apex of our constitutional authority.”
