Senate thoughts on impeachment? Putting the senate on record without fully going for impeachment UNLESS of pre- support from the senate? Would this be wrong way to proceed?

(146,338 posts)The House impeaches. The Senate judges. There is no reason to consult the Senate until an investigation and a vote on impeachment takes place. The Senate has nothing to say about either of those things.
There is a procedure. That procedure should be followed. The House does not have to ask the Senate what it thinks about impeachment, so it should not do so.
