McConnell unveils rules for quick impeachment trial, including delayed vote on witnesses
January 21, 2020 by Ben MarquisThe rules package for the Senate impeachment trial have finally been unveiled and, regardless of the spin by the media, they clearly represent a win for Senate Republicans and President Donald Trump.
Specifically, the proposed rules — which still must be finalized by a majority vote following hours of debate on Tuesday — contain a condensed timeline designed to end the process as quickly as possible, delay debate and votes on additional documents and witnesses until the mid-point of the trial, and include a “kill switch” that allows the president’s defense team to motion for dismissal or an immediate verdict at any time, according to The Washington Post.
The rules and timeline of the trial
Following the initial debate and rules vote on Tuesday, opening arguments will begin on Wednesday. Both sides have been allotted 24 hours over three days to present their arguments, with House Democrats going first, followed by Trump’s defense team. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) initially proposed cramming the 24 hours into just two days but revised the time frame following complaints about the potential for 12-hour days and late nights.
Nevertheless, the days will still be long. The condensed timeframe makes it possible that the whole trial could be concluded prior to President Trump’s scheduled State of the Union address on Feb. 4, though there are no guarantees.
