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.

How do we know these are “new” documents?
They do not appear all that interesting at first glance.

I would suggest people stop reacting to HEADLINES and begin by READING the articles. McConnell is a Swamp Creature but, he is also a Republican Party guy. He knows what would happen to his party if he capitulates to the dems impeachment ploy against our President.

My guess is he’ll retire. We don’t need another impeachment. We need a fair election.

[Consent of all 100 or consent of all present?!?]
This is the Toitle. He knows his Senate rules. If it were possible, he’d require the consent of 200 senators. This is plainly a GFY going-away gesture before he becomes Minority Leader. If Nancy thinks she can seize dictatorial power on the basis of her razor-thin House majority, she’s got another think coming.

They can definitely impeach him after he leaves office. He can be convicted and precluded from ever running for office again. That’s really the only purpose of doing something stupid like this.

"I’ll never vote for a republican again. Except desantis." Why Vote at all??? Apparently all outcomes are predetermined, so what's the point???

Couldn’t Mitch have simply done nothing about impeachment procedure....
How about saying “This is stupid. I am not wasting my time on it.”

I’m not sure we are - or will continue to be - the ‘same coalition’.
But thanks again, anyway.

Dear SENATOR TURTLE,
I SUGGEST THAT YOU MOVE DELIBERATELY/SLOWLY & set the possible SECOND Impeachment TRIAL in the US SENATE to commence on or about 01JUL21.
(That START DATE will give plenty of time to prepare for a “HUGE & TRULY FANCY SHOW TRIAL”, with all possible “POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE” & will certainly/completely “P-O” the FAR LEFT DIMocRATS.)
LOL, ex-cadet

They have no idea how they have ruined what little reputations they had. And how bad they've damaged the country. These people simply do not care.

You are so right!!! We have lost America.

You know about Alcee Hastings, right.
Alcee was impeached (and convicted!) as a Federal Judge and then became (and still is!) a Democratic member of Congress.
So, yeah, Alcee can’t be a federal judge again... :-)

Mea culpa. Missed it in the tidal wave of consternation in the rest of the thread.

“Kentucky, you know you can press for a recall, right?”
There is no recall procedure for members of Congress. The seat is his until he dies, resigns or is defeated for re-election in 2026.
