About a dozen Republican senators plan to disrupt the chamber’s business if Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) allows articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be tabled without holding a trial.
“Six sources told Fox News Digital that roughly a dozen GOP senators have been planning for more than a week to obstruct legislative proceedings and regular business in the Senate if, at a minimum, points of order are not agreed to in the impeachment trial of Mayorkas when the House impeachment managers deliver the articles to” Schumer, the outlet reported on Wednesday.
The Senate runs on unanimous consent,” a Senate Republican aide familiar with the talks told the outlet. “Any one senator can do that.”
The aide added that conversations between GOP senators have been ongoing since last week.
A set of facts — points of order — must be agreed upon before a Senate trial for impeachment can commence.
