RE: “But doesn’t it take 2/3 of the House to file impeachment?”

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. If the articles are adopted (by simple majority vote), the House appoints Members by resolution to manage the ensuing Senate trial on its behalf.

Ya, I just looked that up myself.
2/3 (Senate) to remove, right?
ThankQ for correcting me, goodman.
