WASHINGTON — Rep. Greg Pence, R-Indiana, on Thursday voted against a House resolution that authorizes the next phase of the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, according to media reports.
In a 232-196 vote largely split along party lines, the House passed an eight-page resolution, which calls for open hearings and requires the House Intelligence Committee to submit a report outlining its findings and recommendation, with a final recommendation on impeachment left to the Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Peter Visclosky, D-Indiana, and Rep. André Carson, D-Indiana, were the only House members representing Indiana who voted in favor of the resolution, according to media reports.
Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Indiana; Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana; Rep. James Baird, R-Indiana; Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Indiana; Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-Indiana; and Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-Indiana, voted against the resolution.
It was the third time in modern U.S. history that the House has formalized an impeachment inquiry against a sitting president.
Three Republicans and one Democrat did not vote.
