Let me understand, since Pelosi didn't introduce the article of impeachment, it just sits in the
record until she's ready to bring it up? So Pelosi still controls this? Did anyone here that statement read afterward regarding the rule?

1. House Rule IX
questions of the privleges of the House have precedence over all matters except motions to adjourn for 2 legislative days to consider the question.

2. She has 48 hours to rule on whether or not
it's a question of the privilege of the House (which it is, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Pelosi try to rule otherwise) at which time it HAS to be debated and voted upon (if it's ruled a question of privilege.)

We'll see if Pelosi thinks herself to be above the rules with the way she rules on this matter.
