Impeachment Being Withheld from Senate

The House on Wednesday made the historic decision to impeach President Trump…but now they’re debating if they should withhold the articles from The Senate. People argue that democratic leaders shouldn’t hand off the articles until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees to abide by certain parameters for the senate trial that democrats have called for. This includes bringing in firsthand witnesses to testify. Many others still maintain they don’t understand the specific benefits of withholding the articles and the uncertainty of the senate trial raises concerns. Pelosi said while the founding fathers had anticipated the possibility of a rogue president, “I don’t think they suspected that we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the senate at the same time.” This is why she wants to ensure a fair trial takes place. All McConnell had to say was, “I’m in no hurry.”
