If the house votes for articles of impeachment, the Senate can immediately impose Scottish law and find that the articles are not proven.
Personally, I’d want a secret ballot imposed on a vote for the legitimacy of the articles. Let the cowards who want to end Trump just for defying the order of things see how strong their hand actually is. I doubt they would have the guts to even vote against him in secret, but it would be useful to know that if not.

If the vote was secret, many of those worms would vote against Trump.
