Shamimpeachment: Day 2

Following adoption of the articles of impeachment, the House adopts resolutions appointing managers to present the articles before the Senate, notifying the Senate of the adoption of articles and appointment of managers, and authorizing the managers to prepare for and to conduct the trial in the Senate.
............
Until notification to the Senate, by the House, is made, the adopted articles of Impeachment are not formal. Such notification may be delayed as long as the next Congressional Session.
...........
Until the Senate is informed formally and managers appointed by a filed resolution to the Senate, the Senate may ignore the House resolutions of Impeachment.
...........
If the Congressional session expires, then new managers have to be appointed by a new House Resolution in the next session. The adopted Articles of Impeachment, however do not have to be readopted but have to be filed no later than the end of the next session.
