WASHINGTON - The 100 U.S. senators who will determine whether to remove President Donald Trump from office at the end of his impeachment trial managed to stay seated and listen to the Democratic case against him for about 20 minutes on Thursday.
They began wandering shortly after U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, the lead Democrat presenting the case against Trump, thanked them for their attention through about 20 hours of proceedings over the first two days. Despite that warning about the power of Senate security, members of both parties disregarded rules that call for them to remain seated and silent through the impeachment trial before voting as jurors on Trump’s fate. The rules also ban cellphones in the chamber and allow only two beverages: water or milk.
Two other Democratic presidential candidates - Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar - also headed to the cloakroom, Sanders for eight minutes and Klobuchar for 16.
