Dumbfucking conservative...
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
You rightarded freaks have proved to be insanely ignorant and misguided. <smh>
The Senate 'SHALL HAVE SOLE POWER TO TRY ANY IMPEACHMENT".
Unless, and until, the House delivers their charges to the Senate to try, there is no impeachment ya ******* moron.


Credible proof?
Go read the Constitution for the first time, Troll.
Why? You already proved YOU don't understand the Constitution.
It states the House has sole power of Impeachment...
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
... and the Constitution states the House makes up it's own rules ...
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
... and the House rules state an individual is impeached when the articles of impeachment are adopted by the House...

That happened on 12.18.2019 yet here you are, moronically claiming none of that is true.
You know, I used to be of that thought as well, that impeachment happened as soon as the house adopted the resolution. However, lately it has me wondering, because that school of thought comes with some complications.
We've already established that the house has power to impeach, and the senate has power to try. We have also established that each body makes it's own rules, and one body cannot dictate to the other how they are to conduct their business.
Now, the complication comes in that, if pelosi holds the articles, she is basically dictating to the senate that they cannot begin the trial, which is solely in their pervue to do. She is interfering with the duties of the senate.
I've not seen anywhere where it states that the senate has to wait for the house to physically transmit the articles before the trial begins. If it IS written somewhere, then where is it written? Is that a house rule? If it is, then it doesnt matter because the house cannot dictate rules to the senate. If it's a senate rule, then its viable.
Since the senate cant, or wont, start the trial without the articles, this leads to two conclusions:
1: the transmission of the articles to the senate is irrelevant, and the senate can just start the trial any time they want, and basically just tell the house "X is the start date, have your people ready"
Or
2: the impeachment process isnt complete until the house actually transmits the articles, whereby the senate can start on their constitutional duty.
