Democrats had failed to gain authority from a vote of the full House to begin an impeachment investigation and designate a committee of jurisdiction with [[subpoena]] to override administration claims of [[Executive privilege]]. Article I Section 4 of the Constitution grants to the House the sole power of impeachment, and not to an individual member such as the Speaker to declare an "impeachment inquiry" by proclamation. Without authorization by a vote of the full House, so-called "impeachment inquiry" committees are limited to their regular oversight function and lack the ability to gain judicial enforcement of subpoenas to override Executive privilege in their "impeachment inquiry".

The Judiciary Committee of the [[House of Representatives]] voted on Friday, 13th of December 2019, to approve two articles of impeachment against President [[Donald Trump]] drawn up by the Judiciary Committee which had never been authorized by the full House to conduct an investigation.  The articles were approved in a partisan vote, with bi-partisan opposition.  The Senate ultimately rejected the claim of Obstruction of Congress based on violations of the [[due process]] rights of the accused and lack of authority in the sham impeachment "investigation."  As to the Abuse of Power article, Senators determined President Trump acted properly in rooting out corruption.  He was ultimately acquitted on February 5, 2020.
