Constitution and Trump always have the last laugh.
I would really like to know what is in the Swamp Mistress's pill box. She's totally out of it these days. Being pulled by the idiotic leftists and the CBC like a puppet.
ONLY THE DEMOCRATS COULD BRING IMPEACHMENT, WITH A MAJORITY, AND FAIL TO PULL IT OFF.
I've read opinions by several constitutional scholars:
after impeachment by the house, the articles must be acted on my the senate as dictated by the constitution. the senate must act with or without further action by the house to submit the articles. the president has been impeached once voted on by the house.
the house must first submit the articles of impeachment to the senate before the senate can act. impeachment is contingent on the action of submitting the articles to the senate. the president is not impeached until articles received by the senate.
which is it?

Yeah, but it's been so much fun watching them tie themselves into sweaty little knots!
Sorry guy, Pelosi is actively preventing impeachment from happening despite the vote, unless she does her job, Trump won't be impeached.....despite what nonsense Democrats and Russian trolls are trying to spread.
the competing theory is that the Senate could just pick it up, hold their trial, acquit the president and move along smartly.
There is no constitutional requirement that the house send something to the senate. it only says the house impeaches (one can claim they did) and the Senate tries. period.

I have said it before and will say it again. The House does not have unlimited power, even regarding Impeachment. They have the Power to Impeach, but once their portion of the process is completed, other Constitutional issues may affect it. If they fail to deliver the Articles to the Senate in a timely fashion, The POTUS might bring the issue to the SCOTUS on several grounds.
