OK, so the dims impeach which they can do at anytime, my question is can they hold it up, not deliver it to the Senate for trial?

I’m not trying to be difficult but some have mentioned that the dims will hold it up from going to the Senate for trial.

I just want to know can they do that?

Once the House votes to impeach, the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted immediately to the Senate. The Senate trial starts immediately.

The House can vote to impeach at any time: tomorrow, during the presidential campaign, or the day before the election. But once that vote takes place and the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted to the Senate, the House is out of the game except for appointing impeachment managers to present its case to the Senate for trial.
