House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed a resolution Wednesday afternoon authorizing seven trial managers to deliver the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate. Opening arguments in President Trump's Senate trial will begin on Tuesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After weeks of rhetorical fire and fury, a handful of U.S. House members walked quietly across a hushed Capitol on Wednesday to deliver articles of impeachment to the Senate, paving the way for the trial of President Donald Trump.


Led by the House of Representatives’ sergeant at arms and the House clerk carrying the documents on a tray, seven House managers walked through a nearly empty Statuary Hall and the soaring Capitol rotunda.

More than a dozen Senate Democrats sat silently at their desks when the group arrived at the Senate. They were joined by two Republicans, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Kevin Cramer.

A third Republican, Chuck Grassley, presided from the dais.

The House members were politely ushered to a bench at the rear of the Senate chamber, where they sat in silence as the House clerk announced the impeachment resolution had passed, and Grassley responded: “The message will be received.”

The procession took place four weeks after the Democratic-led House voted to impeach the Republican president on charges of abuse of power for asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and obstruction of Congress for blocking information sought by investigators.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and McConnell have since feuded over how to conduct the trial.

Pelosi delayed signing the impeachment articles while she waited for word from McConnell about the trial’s scope. During the delay, Democrats and Republicans squabbled over Trump’s status because he had been impeached, but had not had his trial.

Pelosi used a few dozen pens to sign, at a desk bearing a placard reading #DefendOurDemocracy. Afterward, she handed pens to the impeachment managers and committee chairs involved in the investigation.

“It makes a funny signature,” she said.

Reflecting the deep partisan divide, the House vote to impeach Trump was nearly along party lines. Many of his fellow Republicans in the Senate have made clear they view the impeachment as a political stunt by Democrats as Trump seeks re-election in the November election.

The dispute did not end when the articles were handed over.

Senate Republicans said Democrats would have to repeat the delivery on Thursday. McConnell said he had invited the House managers to exhibit the articles at noon before U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts swears in the senators.

“We will pledge to rise above petty factionalism and do justice for our institutions, for our states, and for the nation,” McConnell said in a statement.

The trial starts on Tuesday after a holiday weekend.

Lie lie op... Pence is not in support of the impeachment process. It is so clear that you just hate Trump. Focus on your own country and leave USA for the Americans.

Lev has buried Trump. The dude is fvcked.

Lev and Geulliani were Trump's appointed men sent to Ukraine to work against Biden. Lev tied everything together last night and did not spare Nunes.

This is why Trump refused to allow anyone testify from his camp. He knows he is guilty as hell.

Unfortunately I think this will effectively remove Trump from office and also set Mike Pence up for impeachment as well if he takes over from Trump.

Pelosi has given a master stroke

Gibberish

The Republican Senators will throw the articles into the trash where they belong.

You think they'll allow a highly partisan impeachment to go through?

Dream on.

Waiting for some educated illiterates to say Trump is not yet impeached.


He has been impeached but he hasn't been removed from office. The senate trials will determine if he would be removed from office or not.

We can only watch this drama from afar hoping that the best outcome is reached for the good of the global community. Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba and other ethnicity in our beloved Naija it's time to put the hating and tribalism aside, our generation needs to grow further away from such mentality instilled in us through colonialism and dirty politics. If we continue as we have all these years those politicians will never be held accountable. We're practicing Democracy and have failed woefully as learned folks to know that true power belongs to all of us not the few thief's claiming to run our nation...
it's time we stand as ONE or get squashed like scattered ants

DOA She just wasted her time for nothing keeping it so long and accomplished nothing. The Senate was already about to initiate a dismissal whether she submitted it or not. Mitch McConnell waiting for the impeachment articles like

Show proof

Dead on arrival on the Senate floor. Pelosi should stop this cheap popularity she's seeking.
Ass lockers (Democrats) control the Congress as majority while Republicans control the Senate.
Its game over for the Democrats now, over to the Republican controlled Senate
