Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate would have 'no choice' but to take up articles of impeachment if the House were to approve the move against Pres. Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Monday the Senate would have"no choice" but to also take up articles of impeachment if the House were to vote in favor of the move against President Donald Trump.
His statement puts to rest any speculation that McConnell would ignore the House if it passed articles of impeachment against the president. In a historic move last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that House Democrats were moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry into Trump. Pelosi likely has the votes to impeach Trump, but two-thirds of the Senate is needed to convict and remove Trump from office. As it stands now, with Republicans in control of the Senate, that is not likely to happen.
