Sen. Hawley to introduce measure to dismiss impeachment: Pelosi 'disrespecting the Constitution'
By Talia Kaplan | Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said on “Fox & Friends†that he plans to introduce a measure to dismiss impeachment on Monday if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to withhold articles of impeachment against President Trump from the Senate.
“Nancy Pelosi is attempting to obstruct a Senate trial. That's all there is to it,†Hawley, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told host Steve Doocy on Monday, adding that the Senate rules need to be changed.
“The Constitution says that the Senate is the one that will have the trial. It says the trial will follow the impeachment,†Hawley noted. “Now she’s trying to prevent us in a trial. She’s trying to obstruct it, she’s trying to upend the Constitution.â€
“So here's what I think needs to happen. We need to change the Senate rules to allow the Senate to dismiss this case if she refuses to send the articles over,†he continued.
