Immediately walk the document to the Senate, where it has to be taken up, despite Moscow Mitch's attempts to derail it.

Present the case the next day. Attempt to call witnesses, which the GOP will vote down. Then a roll-call vote to get the individual Repug senators on the record as to whether they support Trump or the rule of law. It will probably fail, but Trump will leave office as a president who was impeached twice in the only term he served. And the GOP senator's votes can be used as an argument against the Republicans who supported his coup attempt.
