Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Wednesday that the Senate will start its impeachment proceedings next week, signaling an end to the stalemate over the articles which have sat in the House since December.
“It is important that he immediately publish this resolution, so that, as I have said before, we can see the arena in which we will be participating, appoint managers and transmit the articles to the Senate,” Pelosi wrote in her letter.
The resolution, according to a copy obtained by The Hill ahead of its release, calls Pelosi’s delay a “flagrant violation of the separation of powers” and a “gross infringement on the constitutional authority of the Senate.”
