Changing the rules would either require a two-thirds vote or for Republicans to deploy the “nuclear” option....
We’re in unknown territory. Some legal experts are saying that the 2/3 vote only applies when the senate officially receives the articles. Until that time they are free to change the rules with 51 votes.
I prefer Grahams plan to try the case without the articles by letting Trump’s lawyers rebut the house case. Then vote to acquit.
Yeah. You said the same thing I did in post 6.
Senate Rules can be (and are routinely) changed with just a minimum of 51 votes.
Senate requires 2/3 vote to convict. Anything less than that is an acquittal.
They only require 51 votes to change the rules.
