Watch as Democrats cut the mic on the House floor to avoid taking Steve Scalise’s question on impeachment:

Partial transcript:

SCALISE: “Currently, Madam Speaker, in all three of those cases, the House has taken an actual vote — “

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: “The gentleman is not stating a proper inquiry.”

SCALISE: “Madam Speaker, my parliamentary inquiry is this. Has the House — Madam Speaker, my parliamentary inquiry is this. Has the House been authorized to conduct an impeachment inquiry into President Trump?”

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: “The gentleman is not stating a proper parliamentary inquiry.”

SCALISE: “Madam Speaker, we ought to know the answer to that question. Madam Speaker, either the House has started a parliamentary impeachment inquiry or not.”

SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: “Pursuant to Clause 8 of Rule 20, the unfinished business is the vote on the motion of the gentleman from California, Mr. Takano.”
