Is the House voting on articles of impeachment today
Executive summary
There is no evidence in the provided reporting that the House is voting on articles of impeachment today; the official House schedule and press-gallery calendar show routine legislative business and a suspension calendar vote, not a floor vote on impeachment [1] [2]. Multiple impeachment resolutions and advocacy pushes exist in the record, but none of the supplied sources say the House will take a final vote on articles of impeachment today [3] [4] [5].
1. The public House calendar: votes are scheduled, but they aren’t labeled as impeachment
The House Majority Leader’s daily schedule for Monday, January 12 shows the chamber meeting at noon for morning hour, with legislative business at 2:00 p.m. and first and last votes expected around 6:30 p.m., and it specifically lists consideration of bills under suspension of the rules such as H.R. 2683 — language that typically signals non-controversial, time-limited votes rather than impeachment proceedings [1]. The House Press Gallery’s 2026 calendar likewise lists that “the next votes in the House are expected Monday, January 12,” but it does not identify any impeachment article on that day’s docket [2]. Taken together, the public scheduling documents provided point to ordinary floor activity, not the dramatic, explicitly announced act of taking up articles of impeachment.
2. Multiple impeachment resolutions exist, but a resolution on the floor is not the same as a scheduled floor vote
Congress.gov records show at least two resolutions that would act as articles of impeachment — H.Res.537 and H.Res.353 — each laying out articles against President Trump and related charges; those texts establish that the House has active impeachment instruments in its files [3] [4]. Having resolutions on file, however, does not mean the full House is set to vote on them today: the procedural step of placing a resolution on today’s floor calendar requires a rule or unanimous consent and explicit placement, and the publicly posted schedule for January 12 does not show those measures on the floor [1] [2].
3. Advocacy and organizing are trying to force votes, but that’s different from an announced House vote
Advocacy organizations and some members have publicly pushed to advance or force consideration of impeachment — for example, reporting indicates that 140 House members voted in December to advance an article of impeachment in a procedural move described by Free Speech For People, reflecting active grassroots and member-level pressure to bring articles to the floor [5]. Those political pressures create a plausible reason observers might expect a floor showdown, but the existence of political pressure and prior procedural votes is not, by itself, a record that the House will cast a merits vote on impeachment today; the provided House schedule does not corroborate that.
4. Institutional context: what an impeachment vote would look like and who controls the calendar
The Constitution and Senate rules set out distinct roles for the House to impeach and the Senate to try impeachments, and historically the House has debated and voted publicly when it has chosen to impeach, with managers then appointed to prosecute in the Senate — a reminder that an impeachment vote is a discrete, formally noticed floor action that usually appears on the House calendar in advance [6] [7]. Determining whether the vote is “today” therefore rests on the House leadership’s placement of the question on the floor calendar; the leadership’s published schedule for Jan. 12 indicates regular legislative business rather than a scheduled impeachment vote [1] [2].
5. Alternative signals and political motives to watch
Politically, President Trump and allies have framed impeachment as a looming threat of the opposing party — Trump warned Republicans about the risk of impeachment if they lose control of Congress, signaling partisan incentives that could shape timing and messaging [8]. Advocacy groups actively seeking floor action [5] and the presence of multiple resolutions [3] [4] create competing public narratives, so absence of an explicit impeachment listing on the House calendar today should be read alongside these pressures rather than taken as the end of the story.
6. Bottom line and reporting limits
Based on the House Majority Leader’s public schedule and the House Press Gallery calendar provided, the House is not recorded as voting on articles of impeachment today; the docket lists suspension-calendar legislation and general votes expected on Jan. 12, but does not show an impeachment vote [1] [2]. The sources confirm that impeachment resolutions exist and that political pressure remains, but none of the supplied documents announces a floor vote on articles of impeachment for today — reporting here is limited to the supplied schedules and public texts and does not include private whip counts or any unposted, late-night calendar changes.
