There's no requirement that an impeachment inquiry result in a Senate vote

Even if the House votes to impeach, there is no obligation that it be put to a vote in the Senate.

Personally, I think we should get every Senator on the record, prior to the 2020 election.

But, if Pelosi so decided, she needn't refer to the Senate for a vote, or she could slow-walk it until after the election.

Do what they did with Benghazi. Hit it over and over and over and over and over. Don't stop.
