Per C-Span "Other legislative business is also possible" today. The Senate session is scheduled to begin at 1pm EST

Prosecuting the House's case will be a team of seven Democratic House Managers, named last week by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff of California. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, are expected to take the lead in arguing the President's case. Kenneth Star and Alan Dershowitz are expected to fill supporting roles.

The Senate Impeachment Trial is following the Rules Resolution that was voted on, and passed, on Monday. It provides the guideline for how the trial is handled. All proposed amendments from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) were voted down.

The adopted Resolution will:

Give the House Impeachment Managers 24 hours, over a 3 day period, to present opening arguments.
