I think the Senators running for the office will not recuse themselves. Originally Posted by eccieuser9500Pretty much sums up how you "think"! Can you read the U.S. Constitution? NO!

Most strikingly, Article I, section 3, clause 6 specifies that Senators, when sitting on a trial of impeachment, “shall be on Oath or Affirmation.” Senators all swear a general Oath to uphold the Constitution, but the Oath taken in impeachment trials is more finely tuned. It is a juror’s oath, not a legislator’s oath. Rule XXV of the Senate Rules in Impeachment Trials provides the text: ”I solemnly swear (or affirm) that in all things appertaining to the trial of ____, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help me God.”Ira C. Lupu & Robert W. Tuttle
The Senator’s Oath in impeachment trials addresses the tension between the political and legal character of impeachment. The requirement of “impartial justice” means that every Senator must decide from behind the veil of ignorance -- that is, as if he or she did not know the party affiliation of the person impeached. This includes evaluating the evidence, and deciding whether the proven misconduct justifies removal from office. Senators violate their oath if they apply friendlier standards to Presidents of their own Party than to those of the opposing Party.
Ultimately, a senator's decisions to say that he or she will be impartial during an impeachment trial, or state that they will vote yes or no will have only political consequences, if any. Some Democratic candidates are willing to take the political risk of appearing impartial, instead using the assertion that they would vote to remove Trump from office as a feather in their cap for their presidential bids.by Emily Larsen

The testimony is a word-for-word text account of the meeting. Unlike the phone call which is an incomplete abridged summary. You dumbass. Anyone who continues to call the phone call memo a transcript is a liar. Or a dumbfuck who can't read and understand a dictionary. Eat that!

You don't have to be a lawyer to understand the law. You're slowly losing your case. Keep trying. Even the devil needs a lawyer. Keep banging on that desk.
