"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."

  The way things are right now - one party controlling the House, the other controlling the Senate, and a President whose own party doesn't like him much - is honestly about my ideal governmental split. It's the least likely formation to pass insano bullshit because of the moderating effect of all the hurdles that have to be jumped.
