Biden hopes Senate can split time on impeachment, his agenda
By Morgan Chalfant - 01/11/21 03:01 PM EST

President-elect Joe Biden said Monday that he hoped the Senate would “bifurcate” its work so that an impeachment trial of President Trump does not interfere with confirming his Cabinet nominees or passing a stimulus package.

Biden said that he had spoken with the Senate parliamentarian about whether the upper chamber can “go a half day with the impeachment and a half day getting my people nominated and confirmed in the Senate as well as moving on the [coronavirus stimulus] package.” He said he had yet to receive an answer on the issue.

“My priority is to get, first and foremost, a stimulus bill passed and secondly, again to rebuild the economy,” Biden said.

The Senate must devote full time to an impeachment trial; all other business must stop.  And this would hold true even if the Senate could try a private citizen.
