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]] power to override administration claims of [[Executive privilege]]. Article I Section 4 of the Constitution grants the sole power of impeachment to the House, 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".
