共和党的参议院头头明确表示：如果众议院通过弹劾，参议院就会conduct a trial。听证弹劾总统。

WASHINGTON (AP) — THE Latest on President Donald Trump and the House impeachment inquiry (all times local):

2:30 p.m.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said months ago that if the House goes ahead and impeaches President Donald Trump, the Senate "has no choice" but to conduct a trial to determine whether the president is removed from office.

The Kentucky Republican told NPR that "if the House were to act, the Senate immediately goes into a trial." McConnell made the comments long before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House would begin an impeachment inquiry into the president.

McConnell had not previously indicated whether the Senate would act on any articles of impeachment, though the Constitution anticipates that it would. It's commonly assumed that the GOP-held chamber would acquit Trump just as Democrats held together in 1999 to deny the GOP House from winning a conviction of President Bill Clinton.

McConnell is among the few senators remaining in the chamber who participated in the 1999 Clinton impeachment trial.

• 立国者们制订宪法时考虑的最重要一条是选举独立性，，总统请求外国干预美国选举，相助总统竞选连任，这是大罪状。其它小罪都不是弹劾 -评论2012- ♀ (23 bytes) () 09/27/2019 postreply 12:29:29
