So, why is Pelosi having a vote on sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate?  I've never heard of the House doing this before.  They already approved the Articles.

It looks like the Impeachment bill is handled just like any other bill.

They voted on the articles of impeachment (charges) now they have to vote on the "package" to pass it.

Nope.  Not buying it.  That never happened in previous Impeachments, this is new.  And I have yet to hear of a Bill requiring a separate vote to transmit.  Once a Bill passes the whole House, that's it.

This is not an 'impeachment'.
I don't know what it is, but it is certainly not an impeachment process.
This something new, that the Dems are 'making up'.
In the prologue of the Articles themselves it is clearly written, These articles will be voted on and then passed to the Senate.
Pelosi and the Democrats are violating their own articles of impeachment which they themselves wrote!
This whole thing is freaking Bizarre!

That's because it doesn't happen! 

Nan is grasping at straws.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Nancy is having a vote on transmitting Impeachment Articles because she's not playing with a full deck.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

 :yowsa:  No vote to begin the inquiry but voting to transmit that which has already been approved.  I rest your case.

Every Republican should vote 'present', neither voting for or against.  It is a nonsense vote.  Better to not go along with the charade.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

The weirdest part of all of this is that the "vote" doesn't matter at all.
McConnell is going to proceed with the trial anyway, no matter what the House 'votes'.

High-quality legal weed is available in a lot of states.  I live within 30 minutes of two of them.

Right. This is just another departure from procedure.
It's done, and she realizes she no longer has anything to threaten POTUS with.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is a power-play by Pelosi. She is attempting to establish in perpetuity that the House is more powerful than the Senate.
She wants to obviate the Senate. What she does not know is that the Senate will proceed, with or without Pelosi.
