Throughout the four-hour debate, rather than innocence or guilt, dissenters spent their time questioning the process.
"The one argument I kept hearing, and the problem with it every time I heard it was, why are we rushing? We should take more time. We should move more slowly. But what I didn't ever hear in that argument, which I heard several times, was why?” said Constitutional law expert David Coale.
Coale said while impeachment may have looked different when it was last used in the 1970s, today’s fast-paced proceedings weren’t surprising. “The House is designed to work that way. The House has a lot to do, and so it delegates a lot of the heavy lifting on everything that does to committees. It's why committee chairmanships are such powerful positions,” he said.
Coale said a formal notice of impeachment will be delivered to the Senate, which will convene this summer.
