Either I didn't understand it correctly or they changed it, but my current understanding is that there are four votes instead of two. The first vote, which was never taken, would have authorized the impeachment inquiry. I thought that the vote they were going to take this week was a make-up for that one but, apparently, it's not. Since the inquiry seems to be doing fine without a vote, they see no need to take one now. Instead they are going to vote for a set of rules and procedures to govern the inquiry as it moves from behind leaky closed doors into the public view. In this phase, the inquiry will be conducted by a single committee instead of the previous three committees. At some point, this committee will report their findings to a fourth committee, which will draw up the articles of impeachment, which will be presented to the whole House to vote on. If the articles are approved by the whole House, only then can we say that Trump has been impeached. Then there will be a trial before the Senate and, if 2/3 of the senators vote to convict, Trump will be removed from office.
