WASHINGTON - When millions of Americans watch the first televised hearing in the impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, they will see a different procedure than is ordinarily used for congressional committee hearings.
The Democratic-run U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 31 approved a resolution laying out the procedures guiding the inquiry, including details on who can ask questions of witnesses and time limits for questioning.The public hearings are being held by the House Intelligence Committee. The panel’s chairman, Democratic Representative Adam Schiff, will run the show. So far Schiff has announced two open hearings for Wednesday and Friday; more may follow.
Then questioning of the witnesses begins. House-approved rules allow Schiff and Nunes to conduct multiple 90-minute rounds of questioning, alternating sides every 45 minutes. Once these rounds of questioning are finished, the committee will return to the usual House committee hearing format, with each lawmaker getting five minutes of questioning, alternating between parties.Starting with 45-minute segments will allow each side to develop a narrative that would be more difficult to build in the usual five-minute format. The five-minute limit can be frustrating when witnesses are argumentative and lawmakers do not have time to follow up.
