It amazes me that they just keep going on and on about rules and concern with the republicans doing what they want now. Funny how they 100% ignored the republicans and screwed the rules just not long ago. :rolleyes:

House Democrats Pass Bill Sending Articles of Impeachment to Senate

The House passed a resolution Wednesday that will send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate and establish who will serve as the House Democrats’ impeachment managers.

The House passed H. Res. 798, a resolution that will appoint and authorize managers for the impeachment trial against President Trump.

The resolution passed on partisan lines, 228-193, with Republicans united against the resolution and Democrats in favor of the bill. Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI), a former Republican, voted in favor of the Democrats’ resolution.

Before the House vote on the resolution, Speaker Pelosi criticized Senate Republican attempts to dismiss the impeachment trial against President Trump.

“Dismissal is cover-up,” the California Democrat said.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delivered an impassioned speech on the House floor, saying that Democrats want to “stain” President Trump’s record out of “spite.”

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) said on the House floor Wednesday that the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry had no “due process at all.”

Rep. Collins wondered why if impeachment “was such an emergency,” then why did Democrats hold onto the articles “for almost a month?”

“This has always been a political impeachment,” the Georgia conservative said.
