Discussion Thread: Senate Impeachment Trial - Day 2: Vote on Resolution - Opening Arguments | 01/21/2020 - Live 1:00pm EST

Today the Senate Impeachment trial of President Donald Trump begins debate and vote on the rules resolution and may move into opening arguments. 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. Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released his Rules Resolution which lays out Senate procedures for the Impeachment Trial. The Resolution will be voted on today, and is expected to pass.

If passed, the Resolution will:

  • Give the House Impeachment Managers 24 hours, over a 2 day period, to present opening arguments.
  • Give President Trump's legal team 24 hours, over a 2 day period, to present opening arguments.
  • Allow a period of 16 hours for Senator questions, to be addressed through Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.

* Allow for a vote on a motion to consider the subpoena of witnesses or documents once opening arguments and questions are complete.
