If the vote for a political trial thrives in the Judicial Commission of the House of Representatives, then in the plenary of the House, it will pass to the Senate. There, Republicans are a majority.

(CNN) - Behind closed doors, the president of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, did not specify to her colleagues today exactly how the political trial investigation will be carried out or will divide the tasks that each of the committees must assume from here. In part, that is deliberate.

This is what you need to know about what happens next:

What commissions are involved? Each of the six commissions (Judiciary, Intelligence, Media and Arbitration, Financial Services, Supervision and Foreign Affairs) will continue its investigations, analyzing the different elements of Trump's presidency, his past and his business. These commissions months ago already resolved the different areas they are investigating, and many of the investigations are still in progress or their fights are tied in court. If the Democrats decide to prosecute President Trump, the Democrats in these commissions will give their opinion on what they believe should be included in the articles of political judgment, which will be presented by the president of the House of Representatives Judiciary, Jerry Nadler. (Pelosi will have the last word on this).

When will a political trial vote occur? The Judicial Commission of the Chamber will consider the articles of resolution of political judgment and will schedule a vote on the matter. If you pass the Chamber panel, the Chamber is expected to take it in full. If most members of the House vote in favor of the resolution, the House will have accused Trump. To condemn the president and remove him from office, he would require the support of a two-thirds majority of the Senate, something very unlikely.

So, in the end, what has changed? Not much, apart from Pelosi formally supporting a political trial investigation. But for the past two months, the Chamber's Judicial Commission has argued that it was already conducting a political trial investigation with the objective of deciding whether to vote on the articles of political trial. There will not be a separate vote to open a political trial investigation, the Democrats say. Pelosi did not give a deadline on this process, but he told his colleagues that it would be done "quickly," and Nadler hoped to conclude it by the end of the year.
