Shampeachment!

Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School, published an opinion piece in Bloomberg on Thursday arguing against the House Democrats withholding the articles of impeachment, thus preventing the Senate from holding a trial.

"Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution:

The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment.

The Senate must actually hold a trial," he argues. "If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president.

If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all."

where does it say in the constitution they need house managers?

They should hold it without them. Call a vote so the business of the Senate can move forward.
