There really isn't such a thing. An impeachment inquiry is an impeachment inquiry. The Constitution grants the House the power of impeachment, full stop. SCOTUS has continually upheld that power, as well, and has said that it has no dog in the fight with the process, that the power solely rests with the House. How they conduct the inquiry is entirely up to them. No vote is needed before beginning one.
