Should the House impeach Trump, what will likely happen is the Republican Senate will refuse to conduct a trial – again, further proof of the right’s contempt for the Constitution, our democratic institutions, and the will of the people.I will repeat, the Constitution It is very explicit... THE HOUSE MUST ACT to do anything on impeachment.U.S. Senate Rejects The Impeachment from the House of Representatives due to the fact that it is Illegitimate because the House never held a vote...forces House Democrats - to include those 'vulnerable' - to either officially going on record as being for Impeachment or drop it....?!
And show us where in the constitution a full vote of the House is necessary to conduct an impeachment inquiry.
Constitution of the United States - We the People
Show us. Don't tell us.
Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution states: "The House of Representatives shall [choose] their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
Read the Constitution, it explicitly states the "House of Representatives shall" and "sole power" not piglosie will...
There is nothing ambiguous about how it is written.. It requires consent of the HOR.
pay attention.. "The House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."
Now read it slowly.... If the House of Representatives has the sole power, how do they start?
Please tell me how you can start impeachment anything without the consent of the HOR.
DO YOU HAVE CONSENT OF THE HOR where SOLE POWER TO IMPEACH RESIDES?
Yes or No
The Senate cannot refuse to conduct a trial.
In fact if Articles of Impeachment are sent to the Senate they must forgo all other matters before them and focus on the trial.
