House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry.
That of a certainty means a vote by all members.
The House brings impeachment charges against federal officials as part of its oversight and investigatory responsibilities. Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like ordinary bills, or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry. The Committee on the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction over impeachments, but special committees investigated charges before the Judiciary Committee was created in 1813. The committee then chooses whether to pursue articles of impeachment against the accused official and report them to the full House

So, shif is still the gate keeper of all the questioning, witnesses and testimony.
What could go wrong?
Nancy Pelosi, a whore in the powerful position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. What do you call her?
1. Madame Speaker or 2. Whore? In the interest of brevity and truth, I choose option #2. She will understand “Putana.”
And that's what worries (but doesn't surprise) me...
That is pathetic, no votes should be secret. Stand up and be counted
