Congress can vote to end the war very quickly if the will is there, and it just may be. The spectre of WWIII is very real right now, even to many Republicans. Democrats in both Houses have probably been talking to their colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and they may have good reason to believe they can get enough GOP votes to end this war before Schlump commits any more war crimes, or, worse, uses a nuke.
Impeachment, otoh, is a very long, drawn out process that can much too easily result in the Senate declining to remove him from office, like the other TWO times! There's no time for that right now. Stopping this war before it's too late requires much more expedient measures than waiting for the process of an impeachment to unwind.
Impeachment does need to happen, no question, but this isn't the right time to try to initiate that. I think the Democrats are doing exactly what needs to be done at this point in time.
