The Republicans are going to get a wake up call in 2022 if they don't pull their heads out their asses. They better get use to the new norms.

The U.S. House of Representatives has presented its article of impeachment against Donald J. Trump to the Senate, a step that formally sets in motion the Senate trial against the former United States president, which is expected to start next month.

Republicans are divided over the impeachment, with some senators saying Trump should be held accountable for the Capitol riot and others fearing a conviction of the former Republican president could be damaging for the party.

Some Republican legislators have argued that holding an impeachment trial after Trump has left office is unconstitutional – a claim that has been rejected by Democrats and some U.S. experts.

Walking from one side of the U.S. Capitol to the other, nine House managers appointed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi hand-delivered the impeachment document to the Senate on Monday evening.

The article charged Trump with “incitement of insurrection” in relation to the deadly storming on January 6 of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, DC by a mob of his supporters.

The House impeached Trump on January 13 on the same charge – making him the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice.

Former president Donald J. Trump has lots of time on his miserable hands. He can continue to golf at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a constitutional scholar and one of the House managers who will be acting as prosecutors in the Senate trial against Trump, read the article of impeachment out loud to the upper house on Monday.

“President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud, and should not be accepted by the American people, or certified by state or federal officials,” Raskin said.

The formal step kickstarts the trial phase of the impeachment process, in which all 100 senators will sit as jurors to hear evidence and legal arguments from the House managers and Trump’s defence team.

To be convicted, the Senate must secure a two-thirds majority on the impeachment charge.

If that happens, a subsequent vote could bar Trump from running for public office again in the future.

The trial will begin on February 8. The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said that he will allow two weeks to go through so President Joe Biden gets his Cabinet filled.

Trump now has to find defense attorneys willing to help him avoid conviction.
