"These limitations are quite precise, and their nature suggests that the Framers did not intend to impose additional limitations on the form of the Senate proceedings" (emphasis added)

Ergo, if Mad Nan chooses not to 'formally deliver' the articles of impeachment and/or to not send 'managers' to present the House's case, the Senate is well within its Constitutional authority to proceed without them.

No, it doesn't follow. The House failing to follow through on impeachment doesn't change the Senate proceedings. The proceedings are what happens once the Senate takes it up. Not something that happens before.

Thanks to the poster for the Senate rules regarding impeachment. This is the hold up, and Mitch isn’t into childish games in the senate. If she continues to stonewall, he may consider trying to change the senate rules, but not sure if that only takes 51 or 67 votes.
