The greatest charges ever brought against a president of the United States in American history.

This resolution provides for a fair trial, and I urge the Senate to adopt it.

Mr. President, we go right to it.

Here it is.

I send a resolution to the desk on my behalf and that of the Republican leader for the

organizing of the next phases of this trial.

Parkour Report.

It's on a resolution 47 to provide for related procedures concerning the article of impeachment

against Donald John Trump, former president of the United States.

The Mr. Manager asked in your party made proceed first, who would be able to reserve a

bottle of time if you wish.

Mr. Raskin, you're recognized.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, distinguished members of the Senate, good afternoon.

My name is Jamie Raskin.

It's my honor to represent the people of Maryland's Abe Congressional District in the House

and also to serve as the lead house manager.

And Mr. President, we will indeed reserve time for rebuttal, thank you.

Because I've been a professor of constitutional law for three decades, I know there are a lot

of people who are dreading endless lectures about the Federalist papers here.

Please breathe easy, okay?

I remember well, W.H. Auden's line that a professor is someone who speaks while other

people are sleeping.
