House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood in front of microphones on Thursday and declared that if President Donald Trump is acquitted by the Senate, he will not actually be acquitted.
"We are right now prayerful and hopeful that the Senate will have the courage to hear the truth about the President's action, and then we'll see what we do next," she said, according to a transcript on her website.
"When this is over, do you think that President Trump will be chastened and understand that he's got a Congress watching him? Or will he be emboldened because the Senate will have acquitted him?" the reporter asked.
Do you think Pelosi will accept the Senate's decision on acquittal?
5%. 95%. "Well, he will not be acquitted. You cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial, and you don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation and that," Pelosi replied.
The Constitution explicitly states that the Senate, not the Speaker of the House, has the sole authority to handle an impeachment trial of the president.
If and when the Senate acquits Trump, he will forever be acquitted.
