44. Noah Feldman who testified for us 4Dec seems to hold a similar position

Thu Dec 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

Dec 2019

He testified to Judiciary.

"If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president. If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all."

"That’s because “impeachment” under the Constitution means the House sending its approved articles of to the Senate, with House managers standing up in the Senate and saying the president is impeached."
