1/ THREAD: Donald Trump will once again be Impeached by the House of Representatives. However, in order for the President to be *Convicted and Removed* by the US Senate, a vote of at least "two-thirds of the Members present" is required.

Note the crucial word, "present".

2/ If the Republican senators don't have the ethics and the courage to go on record and convict and remove Donald Trump from the Presidency, they can simply leave the Senate Chamber and the denominator in this two-thirds equation is lowered.

3/ Allowing for the swearing-in of @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock, if 25 of the 50 Republican senators *would simply leave the room*, two-thirds maths becomes achieved if the 50 Dems vote for conviction and removal and the 25 remaining Republicans vote against it.

4/ Of course, if any Republican senators, and very hopefully it will be so, vote for conviction and removal, their votes would lessen the number of Republicans necessary to leave the Senate Chambers prior to a vote (and still make a two-thirds majority possible).

5/ The above-described scenario would allow some Republican Senators to save face/walk-the-fence by abstaining their vote — and yet still making it easier to convict and remove Donald Trump.

Please forward this thread/idea to your Senator regardless of her/his party.
