You don't understand the process correctly. You would see that if you lightly studied the Congressional Record. Everything that the House does, that it wants the senate to consider, the House transmits to the senate. The reverse is also true. Just about any day, read in the Congressional record, "Messages from the House" and "Messages from the Senate."

There are also a few forms of messages from and to the president and other executive departments. All recorded in the Congressional Record.

(House Resolution 755, One Hundred Sixteenth Congress, First Session)

Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:

The house has resolved to exhibit to the senate. It has yet to carry that out. There was about a three week delay in the Clinton impeachment, so all the breathless news is just bait for your attention. It is not weird that the House has not sent to the senate. The senate isn't even in session.

Queen Nancy also closed off the House Well for member speeches to prohibit the minority from criticizing her choice of holding the articles of impeachment from the Senate. This is unprecedented in the 230 year history of Congress. She is depriving the members’ of their Free Speech rights that are guaranteed in the House Rules by a royal edict.

The Rules of the House have always allowed members five minutes in the morning and evenings to make speeches to the chair (regardless if any other members are present) for the record when Congress does not have any other business before it that takes precedence. House majority and minority leaders are allowed a half-hour during the same time. Evening hours end at 10PM. C-Span can cover the speeches. Nancy shut that all down on her royal whim.

She is doing what the Democrats claimed President Trump was wanting to do. . . acting like a royal despot.

On Dec 19, 1998, the House passed two articles of impeachment against President Clinton and a resolution naming the managers. The managers then walked the articles over to the Secretary of the Senate who recorded them as received.

The House "reappointed" the managers on Jan 6, 1999. It was a new Congress (106th). That resolution began with:

Resolved, That in continuance of the authority conferred in House Resolution 614 of the One Hundred Fifth Congress adopted by the House of Representatives and delivered to the Senate on December 19, 1998 . . . .

The trial began on Jan 7, 1999 with the swearing in of Chief Justice Rehnquist and the House managers reading the charges.
