As it turns out, the Constitution's only stipulations about an impeachment trial is that it declares the Senate to be the only venue where impeachment trials occur and that the Chief Justice is the presiding judge. That's all. It doesn't even mandate that a trial take place nor give guidance as to when it occurs.

This is someone else's great idea. McConnell could even postpone an impeachment proceeding until after the 2020 election using the rationale of letting the electorate keep or remove Trump as opposed to having the Senate do it. It would keep members from having one less thing to answer to the voters over.

Postponing it is a great idea. Unfortunately, McConnell has already said the Senate would immediately go into impeachment mode if the House sends articles.
