Earlier in February, Johnson promised to re-vote and approve the impeachment of Mallorca after congressmen rejected the resolution.
At the time, 214 congressmen voted in favor of impeachment and 216 against, but one Republican missed the vote for health reasons, and another changed his vote from for to against to allow for reconsideration of the issue.
The vote in the House is symbolic, as Republicans do not have a majority in the Senate, which approves impeachment and is controlled by Democrats.
