I've searched and I can't seem to find answer(s). Doesn't mean it isn't there.
Is there any benefit to a Republican Representative getting on the floor of the House and force the members to vote on impeachment proceedings ? ( why they would, I don't know)
Ok here is\are my real off the wall question(s)
Does an article of impeachment survive survive an election ? There is none on record.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States
House votes an article of impeachment ( rumors are by christmas ).
Senate takes it's sweet time( not that they would ) and elections are held and new Congress is seated. Regardless of outcome, do articles of impeachment survive ?
depending on the answer to my original question:
Let's say House goes back to Repub. Can the House recall the article of impeachment ?
What I do see that could happen is:
The House RATs write up 15 articles of impeachment but only present 4.
Senate dismisses or doesn't get 2/3rds of those present. (Does double jeopardy apply ? probably not )
Elections happen. RATs retain the House and re-take the Senate.
House RATs present the other articles of impeachment. or re-introduce the articles from the last congress.
or
This House has 15 articles of impeachment and sends over 1 to the senate. The senate does what it does and it's defeated. The then sends the next article..ad nauseum...tying up the senate from doing anything...(other tham judges and treaties, they can do much now )
I know, I know, I have too much time on my time on my hands but with false teeth, it's taking longer to chew through the wrist restraints in the morning.
