Senator Josh Hawley Introduces Formal Resolution to Toss “Bogus Impeachment” Against President Trump
FTA:
Title: Amending the Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate When Sitting on Impeachment Trials.
Resolved, That rule I of the Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate When Sitting on Impeachment Trials is amended to read as follows:
“I. Whensoever the Senate shall receive notice from the House of Representatives that managers are appointed on their part to conduct an impeachment against any person and are directed to carry articles of impeachment to the Senate, the Secretary of the Senate shall immediately inform the House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to receive the managers for the purpose of exhibiting such articles of impeachment, agreeably to such notice.
If, following adoption of such articles, the House of Representatives does not so notify the Senate or otherwise provide for such articles to be exhibited to the Senate within 25 calendar days from the date of adoption of such articles, as recorded in the Journal of the House of Representatives, such articles shall be deemed exhibited before the Senate and it shall be in order for any Senator to offer a motion to dismiss such articles with prejudice for failure by the House of Representatives to prosecute such articles. Such motion shall be adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Senators, duly chosen and sworn, without debate by the yeas and nays, which shall be entered on the record.”
If he wanted to be aggressive, his resolution could provide that a vote of 1/3 of the Senate would be enough to dismiss the articles of impeachment, since only 2/3 are required for conviction. If 1/3 think that the articles don’t even meet the standard for presentation to the Senate, there should be no need for the trial.
Is Iran threatening another Lockerbie? President Rouhani makes sinister veiled reference to 1988 Pan Am bombing that killed 270 people as incredible photos show Qassem Soleimani’s funeral from space
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned America should ‘never threaten Iran’ in response to Donald Trump
Rouhani the US should ‘remember the number 290’ in reference to a downed Iranian passenger jet in 1988
Iran Air flight 655 was show down by a US Navy warship killing 290 people, just six months before Lockerbie
Libya was blamed for bombing over Scotland but many in Western intelligence believe order came from Iran
I think 12-15 days is plenty long to wait for such from the House.
