I will repeat myself:
1- The Constitution says the Senate has the responsibility for ‘trying’ impeachments from the House.
2- The Constitution allows the Senate to set it’s own rules.
3- The Senate rules say that they will begin action on impeachment
when the House presents their findings to the Senate.
Thus far, the House has not presented their findings to the Senate.
So, we are at an impasse.
I do not know how else to explain it to you.
I can not understand it for you.

But don’t you see that #3 can be changed by the Senate?
#1 can only be changed by a constitutional amendment
#2 can only be changed by a constitutional amendment
#3 is a SENATE rule that can be changed by the SENATE anytime the SENATE wants to make the rule change... as stipulated by #2 above
Why is this so hard for you?
