For six Democratic presidential candidates and their campaigns, the possibility of a Senate impeachment trial occurring during the early stages of the caucus/primary season represents a potential calamity
Another thing Sanders and Warren have in common: real problems if a Senate impeachment trial happens in January. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images For a lot of Democrats, the impeachment timetable is of considerable interest in part because they tend to think of it as preceding, not overlapping, with the formal 2020 election season. But even if it does overlap, it’s probably not that big a deal so long as you have the time and energy to follow two very big stories at once.
The standing Senate rules do require a fairly expeditious beginning for impeachment trials after the House has passed articles of impeachment, so it’s not like Mitch McConnell can deviously get it rolling the night of the Iowa Caucuses. But if the House really doesn’t get its part done until well into December, you could easily see a trial running through the critical pre-Iowa stretch of frenzied activity.
Unfortunately, the current Senate rules compel virtual silence from senators during the trial itself, though they are free to run their mouths before it begins and after it ends. During the trial, unless precedents are ignored, all senators get to do is to send written questions to be posed by the House managers or the president’s attorneys, and then stand up and vote “guilty” or “not guilty” when the deal goes down. Not much room for showboating there.
