The resolution calls for up to 4 hours equally divided between the Impeachment Managers and the former president’s counsel to present arguments on the constitutionality of the trial. Following these arguments the Senate will vote, at a simple majority threshold, on whether the Senate has jurisdiction under the Constitution to try the former president.
Additional roll call votes are expected during Tuesday’s session.
