Can the Senate just refuse to recognize a House impeachment?

13. Even if they couldn't this would be a futile gesture

"Let's impeach Biden because of the Afghanistan pullout!"
Biden's defense team brings in the fact Trump set up the pullout and the clear success of that effort once it was dumped in Biden's lap: 125,000 people extracted from the country in two weeks, no usable military equipment left in Afghanistan and the only 13 people killed during the operation were killed by terrorists.

"Let's impeach Biden over the border!"
Biden's defense team brings in the real numbers: border encounters, where the Border Patrol captures and expels an illegal border crosser, are higher now than they ever were under Trump...and after Title 42 ended, even fewer people tried to sneak in than when it was in operation.

"Let's impeach Biden over the stolen election!"
Sixty lawsuits over this issue proved the election was not stolen.

I suspect that if they actually brought an impeachment to the House floor it would go down in flames. The disgust the Republicans have with the problem child from Georgia and the problem child from Colorado is reaching epic proportions.

Besides, if they brought an impeachment to the Senate floor it would go down in flames. It takes a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate to convict...and the Republicans are the minority party in that chamber.
