Who is in Charge of
the Senates Presidential Impeachment Trial?
(It is not the
president being impeached)!
I have checked our
‘Constitution’, by-laws, each signer of the constitution, and any add-ons,
I can tell you
beyond any shadow of doubt, that it is not the president being impeached’!
It is not any
senators; it is the (Chief Justice of the Supreme Court).
Sen.
Mitch McConnell supposes that it’s up to him to determine the way (president
donald trump’s impeachment trial), will proceed in the Senate.
“Everything
I do during this,
I’m
coordinating with the White House counsel,”
to
assure trump’s triumphant acquittal.
But
McConnell is wrong:
It is Chief
Justice John Roberts, not the majority leader, who will be making all the key
decisions.
This is the plain
meaning of the
currently in force
for the conduct of impeachments.
These rules
explicitly provide that the chief justice “shall” preside over the trial, that
it is the
“Presiding Officer”
Who
“shall direct all
forms of the proceedings,”
and that he may
“rule on all
questions of evidence including,
but not limited to,
questions of relevancy, materiality, and redundancy of evidence.”
Who’s Really in
Charge of the Senate Impeachment Trial?
Mitch McConnell
thinks he’s calling the shots.
He’s wrong.
