Before the articles made their way to the Senate chamber, Pelosi signed a resolution that allowed her to officially designate the House members who will serve as managers of the impeachment trial.
Let it be "very clear," Pelosi said before signing the document, "that this president will be held accountable.". No Republicans voted for it.
"I'm confident that this body can rise above short term-ism and factional fever, and serve the long-term best interests of our nation," McConnell said on the Senate floor when once the articles were brought over.
