Senate Majority Leader McConnell unlikely to pursue dismissal vote on impeachment articles ahead of a trial, GOP aides and senators say.

that mirrors the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1999. While such as a resolution would mandate that opening statements and Senate questions come before a vote on whether to allow witnesses, the text of the resolution has not been released, in part, because McConnell has been surveying his members on the possibility of a motion to dismiss.

Instead of a motion to dismiss, Republicans are contemplating alternatives to move quickly but look less dismissive of the trial and the charges. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is one of those in a difficult position of attempting to show her independence from the president without upsetting his supporters. She said Monday night that she had voted against the Clinton motion to dismiss and “would anticipate” doing so again,"as opposed to going through the whole process and then going to a final arguments and having a vote on each article of impeachment.
