House Republicans vote against Democratic-led move to table Cheney impeachment measure
In an unexpected move, Republicans in the House of Representatives on Tuesday voted against a measure to table debate on an impeachment measure brought by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH).
The motion had been brought by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), who sought to effectively kill the resolution.
"Impeachment is not on the agenda," Rep. Hoyer had told Fox News earlier."We have some major priorities. We need to focus on those."
Although the roll call vote had initially appeared to favor Hoyer's motion to table, Congressional Quarterly's Ed Epstein told CSPAN that Republicans had switched their votes at the last minute in an attempt to embarrass the Democratic leadership, who is not keen on seeing further action on the impeachment resolution.
The final vote count on the measure was 251-162. Another vote is now underway as to whether the resolution should be forwarded to the House Judiciary Committee.
