House managers will present their case first and have 24 hours over three days to command senators' attention.
President Donald Trump's trial in the Senate is continuing into its third day with the kickoff of opening arguments from both sides.
Per the rules established during a marathon session that began on Tuesday and stretched into Wednesday morning, each side is allotted 24 hours over three days for opening arguments, so Trump's defense team may not make its opening arguments until the weekend. Opening arguments are set to begin at 1 p.m. ET and could last until 9 p.m. if House managers divide their time evenly over the three days and use all eight hours. Senators could be in the Senate chamber past 9 p.m.
Trump is the third president in United States history to be impeached, joining Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December with every Democrat voting in favor and every Republican voting against.
