Go to the rules committee a day before and then set up the rules. usually most rules just run for an hour or two. but you could see a scenario this might take maybe two days of debate on the house floor because its such a major issue, julie. thats what happens and they would vote on the two articles that the judiciary committee reported out today. at that point president trump would be impeached presumably. the other thing i want people to watch. the most paramount thing on capitol hill is the m...

Like it. ive heard about witch hunts, ive heard about lynch mobs. but ive never seen something like this. using congressional system to destroy people that have committed no crimes whatsoever. its just incredible to be a part of watching and knowing that we cant win these votes because the majority, its just almost unbearable. >> brian: 233-197, they need 217 to impeach. nobody wants to get impeached, poll-wise they are losing on this. what are we going to see tonight, vote to committee to impea...

To consider the evidence and the consequences of failing to ask would be. >> we cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the president threatens the very integrity of that election so with a heavy heart that clear in my duty to a my country i support these articles of impeachment. i urge my colleagues to support them as well. >> republicans blasting the march towards impeachment calling it rushed and unfair at accusing democrats of being motivated by politics and a dislike for the p...

That number. because there are 31 democrats in her party that are in districts trump carried. she can only lose 176 them. otherwise, she has got a real problem and, again, the white house pointing to the polling that is in their favor. guys? brian: griff, even the fact that you are saying we have got to get to 233 to get impeachment -- 217 i should say. thats historic. because usually there is buy-in from the other party. two said im not for the inquiry. they are going to vote against it. then h...

Impeachment. setting up a vote next week on the full house floor. apparently pelosi has the votes. censured instead of impeached second do the math. 31 elected in districts that trump won. 233 democrats in the house. she needs 14 of those 31 to get to the magic number of 216 to pass it on to the senate. thats where judiciary committee chairman lindsey graham says its time for this to end. >> i think the trial needs to end as quickly as possible. i think impeachment is hurting the country. i have...

This is where some vulnerable democrats were floating the idea of centralized trade he said its not an alternative that we are pursuing. let me talk about some parliamentary mat here, what it would take to actually impeach the president. there are 431 members of the house, that means the magic number to pass anything is 216. there are 233 members of the democratic caucus and there are 31 democrats in districts that president trump carried in 2016. that means that at least 14 trump district democ...

Theres 233 democrats right now. so if ive done the math right here, that means that you could lose 17 democrats or 17 democrats who represent the 31 districts carried by president trump would have to vote for impeachment. thats some algebra there. but its very important. that underscores why this impeachment vote -- again, you dont just vote on one article. they might put on two, three, four. that was the case with president clinton. the house approved two in 1974. the judiciary committee preppe...

Full house votes. need majority of the full house. 233 democrats, can lose 15 and still have majority. then the president impeached. to the senate. senate holds a trial. phil gave insight what the trial looks like. need two-thirds of the senator, 67 out of 100 senators to vote to convict. convict, the president immediately removed from office and the vice president moves up. >> now, kaitlan, well done by the way. >> 45 seconds. >> less than 45. kaitlan, the president says he wants a senate trial...
