Officially without the article's of impeachment in the hands of the Senate there has been no vote. What is the set number of days does she have or the impeachment becomes void?
“Officially without the article’s of impeachment in the hands of the Senate there has been no vote. “
Be real.
It’s not like the House can deny they impeached Trump. It’s a done deal.
The Senate is under no obligation to wait for the House to do anything. They are driving now.
And there is no power in the world that can stop the Senate from handling this as they damn well please.
McConnell could introduce a Motion to Dismiss tomorrow morning using rules approved 100-0 in 1999. And he could allow but 4hrs of debate before voting.
All of which is in perfect compliance with the Constitution.
There is no statute of limitations and no procedural bar based on time. Clinton was impeached in the 105th Congress and tried in the 106 Congress. Time lapse was a few weeks on the calendar, Christmas recess, and about three days of session.
The House adjourned sine die the same day it impeached Clinton. Managers were sent to the senate the second day of the next Congress.
Standing house rules contain nothing on impeachment. senate rules on impeachment start with reception of the impeachment managers.
