The Constitution does not mandate many aspects of such a trial, but does require that Senators "shall be on oath or affirmation" when sitting for an impeachment trial. Senate rules historically specify an oath to "do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws." https://t.co/v78nWSFTIv — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the "sole power of impeachment." This week, pursuant to that power, the House impeached President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Now the Senate must hold a fair impeachment trial for the President. 1/ https://t.co/KcomPNTYTq — PolitiTweet.org

That oath was used in 1798, when many of those who helped draft the Constitution were still serving in government. The Constitution's provisions and their historical interpretation clearly point to the desire for a fair impeachment trial. That is what House Democrats want. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
