Original Note:
There’s no provision in the Constitution that discusses how to initiate an impeachment. Voting on a resolution to launch an impeachment is not a requirement. The claim that "it is illegal" is false. Speaker Pelosi did the same thing for the first Trump impeachment. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4201155-why-mccarthy-launched-an-impeachment-inquiry-without-a-vote-and-why-he-can/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/pelosi-says-house-won-t-hold-vote-impeachment-time-n1066671
