The Republican-controlled House voted Thursday to slow down a conservative push to quickly impeach President Joe Biden on a 219-208 vote.

The move stops short of a historic impeachment vote but appeases GOP hardliners who had agitated for more action. It effectively punts impeachment articles against Biden to two committees that are already investigating his administration.

House Republican leaders had warned their members against a quick impeachment after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) took advantage of chamber rules to force the vote.
