On something so momentous, the House should operate once again on a bipartisan basis:

Before President Bill Clinton was impeached, the House voted on October 8, 1998. The tally was 258–176 to advance an impeachment probe, with 31 Democrats resisting their party leaders.

The House also voted 126–47 to commence the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson on February 24, 1868.
