Are you such a grammarian?
Is there a part of the Constitution you're speaking of directly?
No, I'm not. What I'm saying is that the constitution is black and white. It says what it says. It's not open to interpretation. The whole grammarian part was just facetiousness.

If the constitution was open to interpretation, then it would be useless blowing about in the wind.

I figure it will be a sad day for you once the vote happens and the impeachment proceedings get televised,
which they will be.
I’d enjoy the “secrecy” for now, if I were you. It gives Republicans something to complain about, too, since they can’t defend Trump’s actions anymore.

As usual, your response to clearly cited evidence is to regurgitate logical fallacies.

As usual, your response to extremely clear logical argument refuting your claim as to what that evidence means is to regurgitate the 'liar liar pants on fire' mantra, somehow believing that trumps logical argument.

The only evidence you provide comes from the authority of you.
Others have tried to help you understand the multiple flaws in your arguments and you ignore them all.
Attempting to deal reasonably and honestly is wasted on your posts.

I'll summarize the situation again:
The House has received a referral from the IG of the Intelligence Community regarding possible illegal activity.
The House Intelligence Committee (and two others) are investigating this either as a properly initiated impeachment action or because the CIA whistleblower complaint is filed BY FEDERAL LAW with the Intelligence Committee charged with oversight.
The right to investigate and subpoena for the Intelligence Committee (and the other Committees in the House) is certified at the beginning of each Congressional Session by House action and recorded in the Rules of the House of Representatives for that session.
The reality is that NO VOTE is required to begin investigating anything within the purview of the House's authority which includes both CIA oversight and impeachment because that has already been certified at the beginning of the Session.
