Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speak after a press conference on Capitol Hill on December 20, 2020 in Washington, DC.The House will transmit an article of impeachment for Trump to the Senate on January 25. The Senate must begin its impeachment trial by 1 p.m. the day after the article is transmitted.

The Senate, divided evenly between 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats, will be tasked with juggling both confirmation hearings and votes for Biden's cabinet nominees and conducting an impeachment trial. The House voted 232-197 on January 13 to impeach Trump on one charge of inciting an insurrection, the second time he was impeached in his presidency. CBS News reported on Thursday.

"I have spoken to Speaker Pelosi, who informed me that the articles will be delivered to the Senate on Monday," Schumer said on the Senate floor. "Now, I've heard some of my Republican colleagues argue that this trial would be unconstitutional because Donald Trump is no longer in office, an argument that has been roundly repudiated, debunked by hundreds of constitutional scholars, left, right, and center.
