Consider this: The Congress consists of two bodies of course. The House and the Senate.

The 2nd Article of Impeachment of President Trump is "Obstruction of Congress".

By not naming "managers" and submitting the articles to the Senate...Pelosi is by definition Obstructing Congress.

Until she does so, the Senate knows nothing about impeachment and has nothing to try...therefore there is no impeachment.

Maybe Pelosi should be impeached for obstruction of Congress.

Let articles of,impeachment flow against Pelosi.

Obstruction of Congress

Interfering in Senate powers and procedures

Illegally demanding the Senate do their business according to what the Speaker of the House insists they do

Illegal quid pro quo, withholding doing her constitutional duties unless the senate agrees to do things by her demands

Impeach the b1tch

The Senate can change its own rules tomorrow. They can leave every existing rule in place, but add one more that says any impeachment articles voted out of the House but not delivered to the Senate within 30 days will he scheduled for trial without any House managers involved. The impeachment articles will be introduced as the only “prosecution” evidence in the trial, and the defense will proceed accordingly.

Put a rule like that in place, and Pelosi will deliver those impeachment articles by hand even if she has to carry them on a bicycle from California herself.

Obstruction of Congress is not a
crime. If the Senate were to charge
the House with obstruction of
Congress, would this not legitimise
the charge. (Getting the Senate on
record of recognizing the charge)?
