    And, if it's judged to be sound by the majority of the electorate, it will be problematic for GOP Senators who intend to vote on a partisan basis.

    That's true...IF it becomes apparent that the case is not sound.

    "GOP Senator Puts Nancy Pelosi on Notice; No Articles by Monday, He Will Introduce Measure to Dismiss"

    doesn't work that way, she still gets to pick the Houses managers, and only then will it be sent over

    no she is not, it's not the Senate's responsibility yet, once the house Picks their Managers for the process, they will pass the ball to the Senate to decide to remove Trump or not

    now the Trump admin working with the Jury members is Jury tampering

    It’s already over. Americans don’t care about this anymore, not that there was any substance to the whole thing to begin with. This is just another failed attempt by the left to keep Trump from winning the next election, which is almost inevitable at this point.

    agree, Trump is impeached, we all know the Senate will be a sham trial for removal, and were fine with that, we will vote Trump out in November

    we would like to see that witnesses speak, but we understand why republican are against that

    It will never be judged as being sound.

    It might be that most won't care. It could very well be that they'll just go along with their bananna republic rulers.

    Corruption doesn’t have to be illegal. Look at Mexico for examples, much of what goes on there is perfectly legal — it is still corrupt.

    You'll find the "Impoundment Control Act" referenced on page 83 of the Judiciary Committee's report on Impeachment.

    When you can show that an alleged violation of said act is included in Article I of the impeachment, I'll worry about it.

    Where is it found in Article I of the impeachment?
    You know... where the house formally accuses the President of high crimes and misdemeanors, and specifies same.

    It is not moot, it's a distraction. He's wagging the dog, risking our security (again) for his own sake (again). There are no more adults in the White House, no more experts to provide him with good advice. He listens only to those who suck up to him, and no one in the West Wing knows what the hell they're doing. This is a nightmare come true.

    Answering a question with an insult like "how can you not know that" is usually a dodge by someone without facts.

    Please clarify: how does Pelosi gain? If Trump is removed from office, Pence becomes president. Please provide details of what Pelosi gains that others do not. IMO, if Trump were removed ALL Americans would benefit.

    Breaking the statute law is a part of both articles...the abuse of power and the obstruction of Congress. Those offenses, in turn, are "high crimes and misdemeanors."

    The terms in question do not appear in the articles of impeachment.
    You know this, of course.
    Thus:
    When you can show that an alleged violation of said act is included in Article I of the impeachment, I'll worry about it.

    Quote the text of Article I where the house accuses Trump of a violation of said law.

    Never claimed it was. I referred to the entire 600 page report and you denied it was in the report, based on your own scan. Your scan failed. Doesn't need to be directly referenced in the articles, since the violation of statute law isn't necessary for conviction on impeachment. After he's expelled from office, DoJ would then decide whether or not to indict on criminal charges.
    Oh yeah...it was a reference toi a specific statute, the "Impoundment Control Act." Not just a "term in question." A law.

    Which is not an article of impeachment - the allegation of a specific set of actions for which the President is to be impeached.
    A violation of the act you brought up is not among those allegations.
    So, whatever it may say or do Trump hasn't been impeached for it.
