President Donald Trump criticized House Democrats for their reluctance to transmit recently approved articles of impeachment to the Senate

Story Continued Belowafter the evening’s proceedings that she may hold up the delivery of those articles to the other side of the Capitol until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell addresses Democrats’ concerns regarding a trial biased in the White House’s favor.

The president’s posts, however, incorrectly characterize the next steps in the impeachment process. Though the Constitution gives the Senate the “sole power” to try impeachments, it is silent on how quickly the House must transmit impeachment articles that it adopts.

realDonaldTrump Make a deal then. You're the 'best' at that, remember? Do a quid pro quo with the senatemajldr and SpeakerPelosi, exchange releasing the witnesses you forbade testifying in the House for sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. FairSenateTrial

...because they want all this to get swept up and lost in the holiday rush! Delay it until after the holidays, and everyone can better focus on the gravity, responsibility, process, behavior, etc. of the Senate as these impeachment proceedings continue.

Perfect timing: Allowing a rogue president to wallow in anger & self-pity over the holidays! Season’s pleadings! Impeached DumpTrumpEitherWay
