Senate Rules of Impeachment

No. This is nonsense. The impeachment IS “DOA,” but it must first get to the Senate. Yertle has said so, Lee has said so, etc.

I am greatly enheartened by the pretty unanimous response of the Senators that this is a sham. Take your gloom elsewhere. This senate will never convict Trump and Botoxic knows it. That’s why she isn’t transmitting.

Thank you so much for FReeping this. I'm learning so much. I've been of the mindset that the House is done. Their role is over. Finished. And now only the Senate is involved.

I see that is not quite true.

RULES OF PROCEDURE AND PRACTICE IN THE SENATE WHEN SITTING ON IMPEACH- MENT TRIALS[Revised pursuant to S. Res. 479, 99-2, Aug. 16, 1986]

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 in- form 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.

II. When the managers of an impeachment shall be intro- duced at the bar of the Senate and shall signify that they are ready to exhibit articles of impeachment against any person, the Presiding Officer of the Senate shall direct the Sergeant at Arms to make proclamation, who shall, after making proclamation, repeat the following words, viz: ``All persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate of the United States articles of impeachment against ------ ------''; after which the articles shall be exhibited, and then the Presiding Officer of the Senate shall inform the managers that the Senate will take proper order on the subject of the impeachment, of which due notice shall be given to the House of Representatives.

III. Upon such articles being presented to the Senate, the Senate shall, at 1 o'clock afternoon of the day (Sunday excepted) following such presentation, or sooner if ordered by the Senate, proceed to the consideration of such articles and shall continue in session from day to day (Sundays excepted) after the trial shall commence (unless otherwise ordered by the Senate) until final judgment shall be rendered, and so much longer as may, in its judgment, be needful. Before proceeding to the consideration of the articles of impeachment, the Presiding Officer shall administer the oath hereinafter provided to the members of the Senate then present and to the other members of the Senate as they shall appear, whose duty it shall be to take the same.

I am very encouraged by Mtich’s comments today. I was definitely guilty of over the top pessimism. As for your statement l should not have to pay a $500 fine for posting something you didn’t like. This is not a college campus.

Not something I don't like, just the most stupid thing that I've ever read on FR.

It's not a fine, it's a donation FR to make up for your destroying FReepers brain cells by reading your tripe.

Oh, never mind, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas and have a Blessed New Year.
