Eleven Senate Republicans co-sponsor resolution to dismiss impeachment articles against Trump
https://www.msn.com/en-us/n...FJP1?ocid=spartandhp
Nearly a dozen Senate Republicans have put forth a resolution that, if passed, would seek to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump immediately.
"The Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House," said Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who introduced the resolution, in a statement Monday. "If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business."
The resolution would change Senate rules to allow the upper chamber to vote on articles of impeachment if the House fails to send the articles over within 25 days. Pelosi has so far refused to send the articles because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will not commit to having witnesses at the trial.
"Since the start of the impeachment process, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have made a mockery of our Constitution and abused impeachment for political gain," Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who is co-sponsoring the resolution, said. "The Senate has the sole authority to try impeachment. It is the Senate’s duty to take up these articles without delay, and to resolve them in a timely and constitutionally appropriate manner."

It will be interesting to see how our very own Kyrsten Sinema votes on this one.

Very fascinating, I think it is also VERY hilarious, but intriguingly sad that our American politics have stooped to such an embarrassing low. It is like a political comic skit. One party says they have all the power and bucks the system, then the other party steps out of the ring to use unconventional tactics to get the crowd engaged. Sad but true.

Interesting perspective.
This may not be the best response or answer but, I have believed for a significant time now that we should have term limits and not allow career politicians. That won't solve all of our issues but, there are some politicians that should have been gone long ago.

I am neutral on the term limits issue. I just hate the thought of ousting a good person just because they have been there to long. It is almost like gun control laws. People do not like how things play out, so they result to limitations on the participants. I don't want to let the brain dead idiots ruin it for the rest of us.
I just don't see how term limits can help? If one politician can keep hold of the strings, the puppet will do the work. Where is the cure to the "deep state"?
I say let the voters do what's right. IF, we don't trust the election system then we should just be communist?

I guess I don't see career politicians as good people. You do make some good points though.
