Many repubs have stated no “sending” is required.
Just hold the vote in the Senate now. Today.
Many misleading headlines regarding this story. All she said was that Nadler should prepare . . . .
Excerpt:
“I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler [D-N.Y.] to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to Democrats.
“I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House Democratic Caucus meeting on how we proceed further,” she added.
Sure......
just for optics trump should hold the state of the union address at guantanamo bay...
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 inform 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 wonder if she is trying to make the trial to be ongoing on January 20 so the Rats can cause major trouble at the 2A demonstration in Richmond, VA on January 20th? There will be thousands of patriots there that day and a lot of state and, probably, Federal law enforcement there that day. Dem proxies could cause great violence or even conduct a false flag operation that they would then blame on Trump.
Remember, impeachment was so urgent, it could not wait for the voters to vote him out but it was not urgent enough to sit on 3-4 weeks while Pelosi tried to bully McConnell.
I trust her as far as I can spit a bowling ball.
Why wait?
It appears McConnell has completed his negotiations with Pelosi. I wonder what price he exacted for voting down impeachment in the way Pelosi wanted. The delay was all about haggling over the price. McConnell is King of Congress.
@SpeakerPelosi So, does “expects to send the articles to the Senate next week mean you have a plan or can you not plan far enough ahead to be sure?
I bet it it was a Botox treatment, you’d have it nailed down to the second because that’s something really important...right?
I believe her when the articles arrive in US Senate
What took so long.../S?
