| Jan 9, 2020 at 2:41 | comment | added | Rick Smith | Procedure and Guidelines for Impeachment Trials in the United States Senatem p. 5, Rule XXI "All preliminary or interlocutory questions, and all motions, shall be argued for not exceeding one hour (unless the Senate otherwise orders) on each side." There is no need for a cloture vote due to the time limit. | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 2:40 | comment | added | Rick Smith | Rules of the Senate Rule XXII 2 "except on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules, in which case the necessary affirmative vote shall be two-thirds of the Senators present and voting". This does not include the "nuclear option". | |
| Jan 9, 2020 at 2:26 | comment | added | Sjoerd | Bolton likely will legally fight a new subpoena from the House, like he has done before. His statement referred to a potential subpoena from the Senate. | |
