    Somewhat analogous to issue in Marbury v. Madison, where SCOTUS found Madison’s refusal to deliver a judicial commission to a new judge was illegal and could be compelled by writ of mandamus.

    Right, that one. These lying House clowns yesterday alleged a whole list of crimes that weren't in the Articles because they knew they were bogus.

    WRONG again!

    The Speaker does have the authority to decide which votes get on the floor of the House.

    What "relevant" part?

    I quoted the OP Exactly (and illustrated why the person that I responded to was wrong).

    The OP NEVER even referenced The Possibility of Pelosi Not Sending the Approved Articles to the Senate.

    Prove me wrong, If you can.

    PS--You CAN'T.

    McConnell has no such power.

    The House is finished except for their gamesmanship. Trump could argue that not delivering the articles to the Senate violates his 6th amend rights to a speedy trial. The articles allege he committed "high crimes", so this would per se be a criminal trial even though its being heard in the senate and not a traditional court..

    So, use Impeachment, a duty that was only meant to remove a President only in the most extreme cases, as a weapon against your political opponent. Yeah...that's really going to go well...

    You assume that is what would be said. You also assume that the Senate will even call him. Something that the Dems should have done in the HoR... even if they had to take the time to go through the courts. Why didn't they do this?

    If he just said that? I doubt it would change anyone's mind. Remember, the narrative is supposed to be that he did it for campaign political purposes to affect the 2020 election. THAT is what has to be proven. Simply holding up the aid to announce investigations is not going to be enough. Most know that doing such is well with in the power of a President and has been done by other Presidents. We have whole treaties that were made due to quid quo pro, bribery, extortion...whatever you want to call it. It's one reason why Dems didn't put those words in their Articles of Impeachment.

    No, the only thing that will convince Independents and Republicans to support impeachment is if you can prove that Trump did it for political gain. Assumptions will not work. Opinions will not work. Innuendo's will not work. Only actual proof will.

    He has as much power to do what Pelosi claims her power is to withhold from the Senate.

    It is a VIOLATION of Campaign Finance Law to SOLICIT anything of value from a foreign government.

    The SCOTUS would REFUSE to hear your BLOTUS's mewling whine because they have made a decision that impeachment is a POLITICAL PROCESS between the other two branches and they do not make rulings on political issues.

    1. They have been clambering for a market crash for 3 years now yet, still record setting
    2. They have no legs, you can run faster than them.
    3. It won't be anymore fake than what took place in the house.
    4. Baked with some bacon, dried cranberries and balsamic glaze, they are AMAZING!

    Dems THEN: This should be treated with URGENCY! The House can't wait for the courts on subpoenas! Trump is trying to cheat in the elections! National security emergency.

    Dems NOW: Uh, we're just gonna sit on impeachment for a while. No rush on going to the Senate.

    You don't see the problem?

    BLOTUS supporters will DEMAND that they state that they will acquit your BLOTUS in the Senate trial. If they don't they will be facing primary challenges. If they do they prove that Pelosi is correct about there NOT being a fair trial.

    Pelosi has already proven that in the House by making up rules as they go, secret testimony that is not classified, and now are trying to tell the Senate how to proceed.

    Oh, you mean it is OK to get away with crimes if you just start a campaign? Fascinating.

    None since the whole thing has been politically biased from the start. It does prove that the whining of the democrats is fake.

    Yup, Pelosi is playing political games as payback for the political games that McConnell played in 2016 with Obama's SCOTUS nominee.

    BOTH sides get to do it for their own advantage because that is how POLITICS works.
