If the Senate allows a fair trial...

How many ties have we heard impeachment in the House is like indictment by a grand jury and the trial in the Senate is like a jury trial. Well its also said that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. So the House can submit their Ham Sandwich but its going nowhere. And just like a person that indicted by a grand jury and found innocent the President will have no stigma attached to his name for the House's Ham sandwich indictment.

and when your shits talk all smack about Clinton being Impeached you say what foreskin lips?
 
He has been impeached. That ship has sailed.
Nope. Not until the articles of impeachment are delivered to the Senate.
I think Nancy Pelosi has been an excellent Speaker.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
She definitely is not a Queen...or the Queen.
She acts like a queen.
She does not control the Senate;
She thinks she does.
it controls itself.
That is does.
She does not control the President;
She thinks she does.
he is not in control.
He is.
Don't you wish!
Demonstrated.
 
Perhaps we should get on with the trial so that the Republicans who've already declared that they have no intention of being impartial jurors can be immediately arrested as soon as they take the oath to do so. I wouldn't mind seeing Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham dragged away in handcuffs.

Irrelevant. Impartiality is not required to sit on a Senate seat, not even for trials of articles of impeachment. Now you openly attack the Senate.
 
BUT...strictly speaking, the president is impeached when the articles of impeachment are agreed to in the House.
No. The articles must be delivered to the Senate for their consideration.
Trump has been IMPEACHED.
Not yet.
At some point, the Speaker will deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate and a trial 9(of some sort) will occur.
Maybe, maybe not. Put away your Holy Entrails.
But make no mistake about it...the House has already impeached the president.
Nope. The Senate has not yet received the articles of impeachment.
 
The House did their part. They voted to send articles of impeachment to the Senate...on their 7th effort in 3 years.
They are not finished. The articles of impeachment never reached the Senate.
Those articles go to the Senate in order to have a trial which will decide to impeach or not.
The Senate is not yet received them.
IOW, the House THINKS he should be (future tense) impeached as evidenced by their vote.
Fine, but it's meaningless until the articles of impeachment are delivered to the Senate.
The Senate will render the final judgement.
That they will, if and only if the receive the articles of impeachment to consider.
 
Nope. Not until the articles of impeachment are delivered to the Senate.

There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution, in the law, or in the rules of either house of Congress that says that.

You are simply asserting it because you feel like it.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

She acts like a queen.

She thinks she does.

She is an excellent Speaker...and I think that upsets you.

Good.

That is does.

She thinks she does.

He is.

Demonstrated.

You definitely are bothered.

Rest up. You'll feel better.
 
No. The articles must be delivered to the Senate for their consideration.

Not yet.

Maybe, maybe not. Put away your Holy Entrails.

Nope. The Senate has not yet received the articles of impeachment.

Trump has been IMPEACHED.

I know...I know...that really bothers you.

Okay...be bothered...and I thank you for showing how bothered you are by posting about it.

In the meantime...Trump HAS BEEN IMPEACHED BY THE HOUSE.
 
Dems' own witness says Trump not truly impeached unless articles go to Senate

Dems' own witness says Trump not truly impeached unless articles go to Senate

"Congress leaves for Christmas break without sending articles of impeachment to the Senate

Consider it a twist on the old question about a tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it: If the House adopts articles of impeachment but never sends them to the Senate, is a president truly impeached?

A Harvard law professor, who also served as a Democrat-called impeachment witness, answered with a resounding “no” in a column that speaks to the deep dilemma House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces as she sits on two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

MCCONNELL: 'IMPASSE' OVER TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, AS DEMS DEPART FROM PRECEDENT

Pelosi, D-Calif., is apparently using the delay as leverage to extract favorable terms for a Senate trial. But Noah Feldman wrote for Bloomberg that an “indefinite delay” would pose a “serious problem”—as impeachment only technically happens when the articles are transmitted to the Senate.

“Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution: The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment. And the Senate must actually hold a trial,” Feldman wrote.

“If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president,” he continued. “If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say he wasn’t truly impeached at all.”

Pelosi signaled late Wednesday after the House passed articles of impeachment—on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—that she wanted reassurances that the Senate would hold a fair trial, likely involving certain Democrat-sought witnesses, before sending over the articles.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the floor Thursday seemed baffled at Pelosi’s move to withhold the articles, arguing that the House speaker doesn’t have the leverage she thinks she does.

“Some House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage,” McConnell said. “I admit, I’m not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. Alas, if they can figure that out, they can explain.”

He added: “Following weeks of pronouncements about the urgency of the situation, urgent situation, the prosecutors appear to have developed cold feet. Democrat prosecution seems to have gotten cold feet and be unsure about whether they want to proceed to the trial. Like I said, a very unusual spectacle, and in my view, certainly not one that reflects well on the House.”

"If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president. If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all.

That’s because “impeachment” under the Constitution means the House sending its approved articles of to the Senate, with House managers standing up in the Senate and saying the president is impeached.

As for the headlines we saw after the House vote saying, “TRUMP IMPEACHED,” those are a media shorthand, not a technically correct legal statement. So far, the House has voted to impeach (future tense) Trump. He isn’t impeached (past tense) until the articles go to the Senate and the House members deliver the message."

Trump could say "I was not impeached" whether the articles are sent to the Senate or not.

Trump is a serial liar.

He was right about one thing, though, when he said, "The suckers who back me are so fucking stupid, they would continue kissing my ass even if I shot one of them dead on Fifth Avenue in front of television cameras"...

...or words to that effect.

I may have been paraphrasing a bit.

But that was the jist.

No he could not. Only if the articles are not sent to Senate. Like now. You may go.

Trump was impeached once the vote was recorded and announced. He is impeached. He has not been tried yet. The House found evidence of obstruction and abuse of power. The House impeaches and they did. Now the Senate has to hold a trial.
 
If the house had done that we wouldnt be talking about it.

Why would that be?

Trump obviously attempted to extort President Zelensky...and that rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Plus...he DID attempt to thwart the Houses investigation of him.
