In both recent cases of impeachment (including the start against Nixon), the whole house voted to open the inquiry, which is used to draft articles of impeachment. This vote gives the minority party power of subpoena, among other things (such as the President’s attorneys witnessing all depositions). The first item in your posted list skips that historical rule.

Without that vote, it is a kangaroo court.
