McConnell circulates procedures for second senate impeachment trial of Trump
The Hill ^ | 01/08/21 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 01/08/2021 7:48:07 PM PST by Brooklyn Attitude

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday circulated to colleagues a memo outlining the procedure for holding another trial for President Trump if the House impeaches him for a second time in just over a year.

The document, which was first reported by The Washington Post, lays out how the Senate would proceed if the House approves articles of impeachment and transmits them to the upper chamber before or by Jan. 19, when senators are scheduled to resume regular business after the January recess.

The President needs to do a document dump..now!

No the President should have released documents two years ago, and fired all those traitors that some here tried to warn him about, but positive thinkers here just knew he was just keeping his enemies close for this super secret sting operation.

Negative thinkers are always right........... or pleasantly surprised.
Still waiting for the pleasant surprise.

“The President needs to do a document dump .. now!”

If the President had documents to dump, he would have dumped them by now. If he had info that would have spared him and us so much angst, and didn’t do it, then he’s a masochist and sadist. He’s neither of those things.

When I was pissed about Blackburn and Hagerty, I checked in to impeachment or recalling U.S. senators.

The way I read it, there’s no way for a state to recall or impeach a U.S. Senator. If we vote for one, we’re stuck with him. The U.S. Senate can remove a member, a Senator can resign, or a Senator can be voted out in the next election.

I could be wrong, but that’s what the page said.

This is a giant GFY to Pelosi, who wants to turf Trump *before* Biden takes office.

Have you considered it is to insure Trump leaves?

There is no recall procedure for members of Congress.

Each House determines who is fit to serve and can expel a member anytime they choose.

imagine what the President of the United States has.

More fun to imagine what he doesn't have since they made it policy to lie coverup and steal anything that might cause them a problem. He like us only knows what we are told, do you really think the incident in Roswell 1948 has any legitimate reason to still be classified? How about the Kennedy files that were required by law to be released after 50 years, yet much of it is still hidden. Of course the whole Warren Commission report was pure fantasy anyway.

Yes they can, but it’s trickier than that. They can expel a member with 2/3rds vote, but they cannot keep him from running for his seat. Adam Clayton Powell was expelled, promptly got re-elected and SCOTUS ruled the House had to let him back in.

Scotus made a rule but they didn't have to accept it they just decide it was easier and probably couldn't muster enough votes for a repeat. The SCOTUS has ruled before that the House's are solely responsible for their rules. Guess rules are subjective.

I remember well Powell down in Bimini drinking mint juleps and thumbing his nose at them.

I guess my question is since when has the Constitution or rules stopped the Demonrats from doing anything they please?

The Rhinos have banned together with the Democrats. Be Aware
and post their Votes on this in Your State Freeper sites.
We can then help find replacements for the vote coming in 2022. Primary Challenges across the Board.

Also Keep an eye on those in each state that oppose the Convention of States vote to join in and help change the laws inspite of Democrat and Rhino Rulers of today.
Article V says that “on the Application of two thirds of the Legislatures of the several States, [Congress] shall call a Convention for proposing amendments.” The convention can propose amendments, whether Congress approves of them or not. Those proposed amendments would then be sent to the states for ratification. https://conventionofstates.com/
