A legal question about impeachment [View all]

I am not a legal expert. Perhaps there is someone out there who can answer this question. AFTER the House impeaches Trump, do they legally have to then turn it over to the Senate for “trial”? How about just leaving it in the House so the so-called Senate “trial” won’t interfere with the next election? After all, we all already know what the “verdict” of the Senate would be.
