Correct. All the constitution says is that the Senate has the power to “try all impeachements”. The impeachment exists therefore the Senate can try it. It doesn’t matter that Madame Speaker can’t find a box to put it in. I know where she can put it.
I get it now. Obozo administration knows about Petraeus/Broadwell for months at least. Obozo holds it over P’s head while he gives (false)testimony to Congress about Bengazi being about the stupid video. Later, P goes to Libya, finds out all of the truth, is troubled by it, tells Obozo that he can’t keep on protecting Obozo. Obozo “assasinates” P “Chicago style”.
Just in case of the nighmare scenario of weeks-long recounts and multiple lawsuits happens, break glass in case of emergency. Totally legal. Republicans control the House and the Senate in Ohio
