GOP senators say impeachment rules won't include motion to dismiss

Members of Republican leadership say they do not expect a yet-to-be unveiled rules resolution for the Senate impeachment trial to have a built-in motion to dismiss — a break with the Clinton impeachment rules.
 
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 2 Republican in the upper chamber, said rules for the impeachment trial are still being "nailed down" but added, "I would be surprised if there was a dismissal motion included. I would bet against it."
 
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), an adviser to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), separately told The Hill that he did not expect a motion to dismiss to be "baked" into the resolution.
 
“If 51 senators wanted to have that vote we could have it at some point. I don’t believe it’s going to be baked into the underlying resolution,” Cornyn said.
