When should the house have the articles of impeachment vote?

I don't mean the procedural vote. I am talking about a vote on articles of impeachment?

The timing of that vote could matter.

while retaining the very important procedural advantages [witness control, etc.], the current hearing modes offer.

The 'Pelosi process' is working, and pushing the polls in a good way.

That will make all the Thanksgiving dinners across America *VERY* interesting.

And for those of us who are not insane, a REAL reason to give thanks.

Put the Senate on the spot to do their part and vote for conviction/acquittal.

Remember, 23 GOP senators are up for re-election in 2020.

Make them squeal, and make them pay for it in November 2020.

Impeaching him turns it over to the Senate and what will the GOP do with it? That could be a disaster.
