"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.
This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.
The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.
Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

Really, it's forcing the GOP to declare it's position on the idea that Trump could commit murder in public with impunity. Essentially, if the President is now the king (not the watered down limited monarchy of today's UK, the old school off with their heads monarchy). Then the voters will have to decide what they think of that.
