The House debates Trump’s impeachment charge as McConnell says he won’t bring back the Senate with emergency powers.

The Democrat-controlled House holds a floor vote on a

or more articles of indictment.

Less than the majority of

The House votes to dismiss.

The Chamber determines whether

and when to send the

article in the Senate. he

could do nothing more,

effectively holding the

charges in perpetuity.

IF THE ARTICLE IS WITHDRAWN UNTIL

AFTER THE CHANGE OF CONTROL

A Republican-led trial is unlikely:

Mitch McConnell said

the Senate will only return

January 19, last full day of

Trump’s term, making

an unlikely trial before

inauguration.

Democratic trial:

Later this month, the control of

the Senate will return to

Democrats. Upon receipt of

article, the Senate must

soon start a test, but there

is discretion in the schedule

and the pace of the process.

Thereafter, the Senate holds

a vote to convict or acquit

the former president.
