Fox News anchor Chris Wallace pressed Democratic Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell about the fact that House Democrats have yet to send impeachment articles against President Donald Trump to the Senate for trial.
"If President Trump is such a threat, if this case is so urgent, why not send impeachment to the Senate right away?" Wallace asked on "Fox News Sunday" after playing clips of Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff and others giving speeches during the House impeachment hearings about the supposed urgency of taking action.
Dingell responded by insisting the Senate would have never started the trial "Before January 6th," after the holidays.
Acknowledging the holiday delay, Wallace continued to press his point by bringing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into the discussion.
Wallace added Harvard law professor Noah Feldman's contention that the president isn't actually impeached if it never reaches the Senate.
Taking "One last crack" at the issue, Wallace asked Dingell about the House's continued role: "The Constitution was very clear and very simple that impeachment is the sole purview of the House. It is equally clear, Article 1, Section 3 says this, the Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. According to the founders, what happens in the Senate is none of you're, you the House, is none of your business."
"All people are doing is making sure it's a fair trial," Dingell insisted.
