(42,641 posts)1. The Senate makes its own rules.
But I agree that McConnell is just as bad, and as destructive, as is Trump.

The power is given to him by his members. (idiots i should say)

(3,741 posts)3. Way, way way, way too much power. Wonder what the Constitution has to say
or perhaps, THE OTHER SENATORS THAT COULD STOP HIM, someway, somehow. The Senate always has loop holes and side bars and all get out stuff that one would expect from a collective body of lawyers! Dem's, time to push back as hard as you ever have knowing that 'we the people' are in total support of a fair trial with witnesses.

The problem is that the GOP controls the Senate and they admire nothing but power.
