Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday released a resolution laying out the ground rules for President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
Trump's team and the House of Representatives have until 9 a.m. on Wednesday to file any motions. The exception being motions to subpoena witnesses or documents. All responses filed to any motions have to be in by 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
The trial will begin at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. The House will have two days to make their case for impeachment but their time allotment cannot exceed 24 hours. After that, Trump's legal team will be given two days to make their case and again, that cannot exceed a 24 hour time period.
Once the president's team finishes their presentation, senators can ask questions but they are limited to a 16-hour time frame. There will then be a 4-hour argument split between the House and Trump's team.
Deliberation will follow. At that time the Senate will decide whether or not to subpoena witnesses or documents. If the Senate decides to allow either side to subpoena witnesses, the witnesses will undergo a deposition and then the Senate will decide if those witnesses will testify.
Once the deliberations are concluded the Senate will vote on each individual article of impeachment.

You cried a
different tune 20 years ago.
Pelosi and her Trump-hating hacks came up with a sham case based on a sham investigation with ZERO due process and ZERO minority rights...and you in the Senate minority want to make the entire Senate fix what is wrong with this bogus case in the hopes of somehow finding a golden nugget of new non-high crimes and non-high misdemeanours with which to complete your coup and overturn the 2016 election or so wound a sitting President so as to weaken him before your pathetically weak and inept 2020 contenders (doubtful!)...and are butthirt over being told to eff off?!
Because you hate him and his policies is NOT a high crime or high anything per our Constitution...and you sh*t all over the Constitution, pissed on House Minority rights by changing the rules...and told the President he is not entitled to due process and his presumed guilty and must be compelled to prove his innocence on anything you pull out of your despicable asses!
You deserve no courtesy, no quarter and zero mercy!!!
