"The process was formally initiated on February 6, 1974, when the House of Representatives passed a resolution, H.Res. 803 "
This is not a Constitutional requirement, and never was. The only reason for the formal vote for Nixon and Clinton was a House rule limiting subpoena power of the committees, but House Republicans changed that rule so that they could investigate Hillary and Obama. There is no reason for Democrats to vote now since the Republicans saw fit to change the rules so they didn't have to last time.
