His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>For 46 publicly held companies in California with all-male boards, the clock is ticking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The corporations, including pharmaceutical, financial and software companies that tend to be on the smaller, younger side, have only until revelers ring in 2020 to name a woman to their boards of directors or face a $100,000 penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2018/11/california-women-boardroom-law-faces-legal-challenges/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A bill signed into law \u003c/a>by former Gov. Jerry Brown in September 2018 required public companies with headquarters in California to name at least one female director by the end of 2019. The law further mandates that companies with five-member boards have at least two female directors by the end of 2021; corporations with six or more directors need at least three women. The penalties for failing to comply rise accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden State became the first in the nation to legislate the requirement for female board members, inspiring lawmakers in Massachusetts and New Jersey to introduce similar proposals. Illinois enacted a pale version of the California law, requiring publicly traded companies to report each year their boards’ demographics and plans to promote diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Anastasia Boden, Pacific Legal Foundation\"]'We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se. The injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers tracking the situation in California say the new law appears to be having the intended effect, with more than 90% of publicly traded companies based in the state now in compliance — and with women added to at least two dozen all-male boards just since July. But the measure has also drawn legal challenges, as many observers predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In acknowledging “serious legal objections” to the law, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/89/11/e07e898d40bfa1a532dabef65abe/sb-826-signing-message.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said when he signed\u003c/a> that it was nonetheless important to send a message to the male-dominated business world. That message has resulted in at least two lawsuits. One was \u003ca href=\"https://pacificlegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Creighton-Meland-v.-Alex-Padilla-Secretary-of-State-of-California-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed in November\u003c/a> by the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm, on behalf of a shareholder of OSI Systems Inc., a manufacturer of airport security, medical and other equipment based in Hawthorne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Creighton Meland Jr., a retired corporate attorney, maintains that the “woman quota” would force him to discriminate when voting for OSI board members. Instead of voting for the best candidate, he said, he would have to consider the person’s sex as well. OSI, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has a seven-member board that includes founder and Chief Executive Deepak Chopra (not the internationally famed holistic medicine proponent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se,” said Anastasia Boden, a senior attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation, who is handling the Meland case. “The 2020injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would violate the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, which was meant to create a sex- and race-blind society, she said, adding: “This law … just reduces people back down to their immutable traits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier challenge was filed in August by Judicial Watch, a conservative group based in Washington, on behalf of three California taxpayers. That suit argues that spending taxpayer money to enforce the law would violate the state’s Constitution. Jill Farrell, a Judicial Watch spokeswoman, said the case was scheduled to be heard March 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both suits name Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whose office handles corporate filings and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/women-boards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">processes the records\u003c/a> of entities that conduct business in California. Padilla has asked a judge to throw out the Judicial Watch lawsuit, saying taxpayers have not been harmed and thus have no standing to sue. Paula Valle, a spokeswoman for the secretary of state, said his office would review the Pacific Legal Foundation suit and “respond in court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11791982 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/women-on-boards-graphic-e1576700766468.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"800\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the number of women in boardrooms is rising, sexual parity remains a distant prospect in California and globally. According to the accounting giant Deloitte’s \u003ca href=\"https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/risk/articles/women-in-the-boardroom-global-perspective.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most recent report\u003c/a> on the issue, released in October, women hold just 16.9% of board seats worldwide, a 1.9-point increase from 2017. Norway, with 41% of board seats held by women, the highest percentage in the world, was the first country to enact legislation requiring female representation, in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, women now hold 21.2% of the board seats at the state’s 444 largest corporations, according to \u003ca href=\"https://2020wob.com/educate2/#ourReport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 Women on Boards\u003c/a>, an education and advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. In the boardrooms of the 414 companies on the Russell 3000 lists in both 2018 and 2019, female corporate directors gained 183 seats between July 2018 and June 2019. Still, 36 of the Russell 3000 companies in California had no women on their boards as of June. The Russell 3000 tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — the Santa Barbara Democrat who wrote the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 826\u003c/a> — noted when the measure became law that a quarter of California’s publicly traded companies did not have a woman on their boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was despite the fact that women made more than 70% of buying decisions, she said, making their input “critical to discussions and decisions that affect corporate culture, actions and profitability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the legal challenges, Jackson said recently in a statement: “I certainly respect the constitutional right of anyone to challenge the law in our courts. However, I strongly believe that this measure meets constitutional requirements and will be held up in court. Significant research has shown the importance of adding women to boards to improve profitability and add to the economic well-being of the state, as well the interest of the state to advance gender equality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law itself does appear to have spurred some companies to add women to their boards.

But the measure has also drawn legal challenges, as many observers predicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In acknowledging “serious legal objections” to the law, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/89/11/e07e898d40bfa1a532dabef65abe/sb-826-signing-message.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said when he signed\u003c/a> that it was nonetheless important to send a message to the male-dominated business world. That message has resulted in at least two lawsuits. One was \u003ca href=\"https://pacificlegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Creighton-Meland-v.-Alex-Padilla-Secretary-of-State-of-California-Complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filed in November\u003c/a> by the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm, on behalf of a shareholder of OSI Systems Inc., a manufacturer of airport security, medical and other equipment based in Hawthorne.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Creighton Meland Jr., a retired corporate attorney, maintains that the “woman quota” would force him to discriminate when voting for OSI board members. Instead of voting for the best candidate, he said, he would have to consider the person’s sex as well. OSI, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment, has a seven-member board that includes founder and Chief Executive Deepak Chopra (not the internationally famed holistic medicine proponent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not claiming that the injury to him is having a woman on the board per se,” said Anastasia Boden, a senior attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation, who is handling the Meland case. “The 2020injury is forcing people to make decisions based on sex.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would violate the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, which was meant to create a sex- and race-blind society, she said, adding: “This law … just reduces people back down to their immutable traits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That suit argues that spending taxpayer money to enforce the law would violate the state’s Constitution. Jill Farrell, a Judicial Watch spokeswoman, said the case was scheduled to be heard March 9 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both suits name Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whose office handles corporate filings and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/women-boards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">processes the records\u003c/a> of entities that conduct business in California. Padilla has asked a judge to throw out the Judicial Watch lawsuit, saying taxpayers have not been harmed and thus have no standing to sue.

According to the accounting giant Deloitte’s \u003ca href=\"https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/risk/articles/women-in-the-boardroom-global-perspective.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most recent report\u003c/a> on the issue, released in October, women hold just 16.9% of board seats worldwide, a 1.9-point increase from 2017. Norway, with 41% of board seats held by women, the highest percentage in the world, was the first country to enact legislation requiring female representation, in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, women now hold 21.2% of the board seats at the state’s 444 largest corporations, according to \u003ca href=\"https://2020wob.com/educate2/#ourReport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 Women on Boards\u003c/a>, an education and advocacy organization based in Los Angeles. In the boardrooms of the 414 companies on the Russell 3000 lists in both 2018 and 2019, female corporate directors gained 183 seats between July 2018 and June 2019. Still, 36 of the Russell 3000 companies in California had no women on their boards as of June. The Russell 3000 tracks the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — the Santa Barbara Democrat who wrote the legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 826\u003c/a> — noted when the measure became law that a quarter of California’s publicly traded companies did not have a woman on their boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was despite the fact that women made more than 70% of buying decisions, she said, making their input “critical to discussions and decisions that affect corporate culture, actions and profitability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the legal challenges, Jackson said recently in a statement: “I certainly respect the constitutional right of anyone to challenge the law in our courts. However, I strongly believe that this measure meets constitutional requirements and will be held up in court. Significant research has shown the importance of adding women to boards to improve profitability and add to the economic well-being of the state, as well the interest of the state to advance gender equality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law itself does appear to have spurred some companies to add women to their boards. Skechers, Stamps.com and TiVo, for instance, all named women to previously all-male boards after SB 826’s passage; they and several other companies contacted for this story did not respond or issued a “no comment” to requests for interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear an appeal is considered a setback for governments in much of the West that are grappling with widespread homelessness by designing laws to regulate makeshift encampments on sidewalks and parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11777005,news_11764548']The case stems from a lawsuit filed nearly a decade ago. A handful of people sued the city of Boise for repeatedly ticketing them for violating an ordinance against sleeping outside. While Boise officials later amended their ordinance, the 9th Circuit eventually determined the local law was unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a decision last year, the court said it was “cruel and unusual punishment” to enforce rules that stop homeless people from camping in public places when they have no place else to go. That means states across the 9th Circuit can no longer enforce similar statutes if they don’t have enough shelter beds for homeless people sleeping outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case now returns to the 9th Circuit. The city of Boise says it’s evaluating its next steps.\u003cbr>\n___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787861253/how-boises-fight-over-homelessness-is-rippling-across-the-west-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR’s original story\u003c/a> on the Boise case published Dec. 13, 2019:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s billed as one of the most livable places in the country with its good schools, leafy streets and safe neighborhoods. That’s what makes Boise, Idaho, an odd backdrop for a heated legal fight around homelessness that is reverberating across the western United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes back nearly a decade to when seven homeless people sued Boise for repeatedly ticketing them for sleeping outside. Last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2019/04/01/15-35845.pdf\">ruled in their favor\u003c/a>. The decision said it was “cruel and unusual punishment” to enforce rules that stop homeless people from camping in public places when they have no place else to go. That means in states across the 9th Circuit — including Washington, Oregon and California — cities and counties can no longer enforce similar statutes if they don’t have enough shelter beds for homeless people sleeping outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Hawkes was one of the original plaintiffs in the case. She now lives in Spokane, Washington, where she had been in and out of homelessness and only recently found stable housing. Seven years ago, she and her then-partner had nowhere to live in Boise, and many nights, they had no other choice but to pitch a tent in a wooded area along the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I just need somewhere to lay my head overnight,’ and it’s not like we left camp up,” she said. “We always packed up and we always kept it clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though she says she tried to keep herself hidden, police issued her more than a dozen tickets. Like most people living on the streets, Hawkes didn’t have steady work and couldn’t pay the fines. So she ended up in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d never been in jail a whole day and night before,” she said. “It was terrifying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise has hired a high-powered Los Angeles-based law firm to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Dozens of other municipalities and organizations, ranging from the downtown L.A. YMCA to a group of California counties, have filed amicus briefs in support of the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the fight over how to deal with the ever-growing homelessness crisis — most acutely visible in places such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle — is dividing cities, neighborhoods and political parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a deciding factor in the unusually heated Boise mayoral race between two Democrats this past fall. Like many western cities, Boise is in the midst of an extraordinary affordable housing shortage. It’s also one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, a source of tension in some corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message that prevailed was city council president Lauren McLean’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The part that is missed all too often is the importance of prevention, if we want to prevent camps, we have to prevent homelessness,” she said during a forum at at a local homeless shelter. “We’ve got to address the affordability crisis in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a divisive runoff earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/post/runoff-election-results-2019-mclean-wins-boise-mayor-race-mcgee-takes-caldwell-city-council\">McLean handily beat the city’s longest-serving mayor\u003c/a>, Dave Bieter. He took heat for the city spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to appeal a case, money that some argued should be going to housing and more support services for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bieter warned that the famously pleasant and livable city of Boise can remain that way only if it has the ability to issue some tickets to stop the spread of tent cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really concerned when I see Seattle or Portland or San Francisco, I go there and I see a city that’s overwhelmed by the problem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791457\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2019/12/16/supreme-court-wont-hear-case-to-ticket-homeless-for-sleeping-in-public-spaces/san-francisco-like-many-places-across-the-west-face-a-growing-homelessness-crisis/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11791457\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791457\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco, like many places across the West, face a growing homelessness crisis. \u003ccite>(Jeff Chiu/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In cities like those, and in Los Angeles, the homelessness crisis is far more eye-opening than in Boise.

Democrats argued that the president's move to hold up a White House meeting and security assistance approved by Congress in exchange for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's announcing investigations of a Trump political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden as well as his son Hunter, was an abuse of power. They say the White House directive to administration officials to refuse congressional request for both testimony and documents that committees had requested was obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's happening this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Judiciary committee released \u003ca href=\"https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/CRPT-116hrpt346.pdf\">a 658 page report\u003c/a> late Sunday evening that describes the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. It explains the charges and outlines the evidence Democratic investigators found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taken together, the articles charge that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our system of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked. Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office,\" the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Rules Committee will meet on Tuesday to set the parameters for the debate and discuss any proposed changes to the Judiciary Committee's resolution. Any lawmaker who wishes to speak on the impeachment resolution can appear at the hearing. But the panel has nine Democrats and four Republicans so it is expected to vote to keep the text of the articles approved by the Judiciary Committee intact and set how many hours lawmakers will have to debate each of the two articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic leaders have scheduled a floor vote for Wednesday, according to two senior House Democratic leadership aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how much time leaders decide to set or how much time members take to speak on the floor, the debate could take most of the day. If it goes late into the evening, there is a chance leaders will shift the final vote to Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will there be Democratic defections?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, but it's unclear how many. Two House Democrats — Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/31/774777869/house-to-vote-to-formalize-outline-impeachment-inquiry\">opposed the resolution \u003c/a>formalizing the impeachment inquiry and are expected to vote no on the articles of impeachment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top House Democratic leaders have described the vote on impeaching a president as a \"vote of conscience\" and have compared it to voting to send U.S. troops into war. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters last week that she is not asking any of her members how they are voting. Democrats took control of the House in 2019 after a group of centrist Democrats won seats in 31 districts that Trump had carried in the 2016 election, and many of those members \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/14/787990097/on-verge-of-impeachment-vote-first-term-moderate-democrats-weigh-a-political-ris\">are still mulling over how they will vote\u003c/a>. Some admit that if they back impeachment, it could affect whether they are re-elected in 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the speaker insists she's not weighing in with this group, saying, \"They'll make their own decisions. I don't say anything to them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are any Republicans expected to break with their leaders on impeachment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, Republicans voted unanimously against the House resolution starting the impeachment inquiry, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has sounded confident that the conference will again stick solidly behind the president. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment. The Senate is designated as the chamber that tries the case, with all 100 senators acting as jurors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi will appoint impeachment managers from among House Democrats to play the role of prosecutors. The White House will decide its defense team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does a Senate trial work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the trial begins, the top Republican and Democratic leaders will try to negotiate a resolution that establishes the ground rules for a trial, such as how long each side will get to present their arguments. That resolution would require a simple majority to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., \u003ca href=\"https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Impeachment%20Letter%20To%20Leader%20McConnell.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Sunday evening seeking testimony from at least four witnesses in a Senate trial. He specifically asked for current and former administration officials who did not cooperate with the House investigation — acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, Michael Duffey, an OMB official, and Robert Blair, a senior adviser to Mulvaney. Schumer also suggested time limits for both sides to present their case, modeled after the bipartisan agreement Senators reached in 1999 for the trial of President Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether Schumer and McConnell can get agreement on how the nuts and bolts of a trial will work. If they don't, there could be a lot of uncertainty for each step of the process. Any senator can raise procedural questions that will trigger votes on all aspects of the trial, including whether any witnesses would be called to testify. Those votes would also need a simple majority vote to pass, and although Republicans control the chamber, there is a small group of GOP senators who have raised questions about the president's actions and could vote with Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told NPR's Steve Inskeep on \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> Monday why he pressed for the witnesses, \"This has to be a fair trial. And there are a good number of my Republican colleagues who have said that, you know, they need more evidence. There are no better people in presenting this evidence than this.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long will a Senate trial last?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-qnp9QLV8\">in an interview on Fox News \u003c/a>last week, made the case for a relatively quick trial without witness testimony. \"If you know you have the votes, you've listened to the arguments on both sides, and you believe the case is so slim, so weak that you have the votes to end it, that might be what the president's lawyers would prefer, and you can certainly make a case for making it shorter rather than longer since it's such a weak case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president has been pushing for the witnesses who were not called to testify in the House probe — like Hunter Biden — to appear at the trial. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to those Senate Republicans urging a quick process, the president said last week, \"I'll do whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't mind a long process, because I'd like to see the whistleblower who's a fraud.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation came out of a complaint filed by a still-anonymous whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate trial is expected to take place in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any Senate Republicans potentially open to joining with Democrats to convict and remove the president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Senate trial, a two-thirds vote (67 votes) is needed to convict and remove a president. McConnell said on Fox News that there was \"no chance\" that would happen. He also said, \"My hope is that there won't be a single Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment.\" Democrats would need 20 GOP senators to break with the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment. The Senate is designated as the chamber that tries the case, with all 100 senators acting as jurors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi will appoint impeachment managers from among House Democrats to play the role of prosecutors. The White House will decide its defense team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does a Senate trial work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the trial begins, the top Republican and Democratic leaders will try to negotiate a resolution that establishes the ground rules for a trial, such as how long each side will get to present their arguments. That resolution would require a simple majority to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., \u003ca href=\"https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Impeachment%20Letter%20To%20Leader%20McConnell.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Sunday evening seeking testimony from at least four witnesses in a Senate trial. He specifically asked for current and former administration officials who did not cooperate with the House investigation — acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, Michael Duffey, an OMB official, and Robert Blair, a senior adviser to Mulvaney. Schumer also suggested time limits for both sides to present their case, modeled after the bipartisan agreement Senators reached in 1999 for the trial of President Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether Schumer and McConnell can get agreement on how the nuts and bolts of a trial will work. If they don't, there could be a lot of uncertainty for each step of the process. Any senator can raise procedural questions that will trigger votes on all aspects of the trial, including whether any witnesses would be called to testify. Those votes would also need a simple majority vote to pass, and although Republicans control the chamber, there is a small group of GOP senators who have raised questions about the president's actions and could vote with Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told NPR's Steve Inskeep on \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> Monday why he pressed for the witnesses, \"This has to be a fair trial. And there are a good number of my Republican colleagues who have said that, you know, they need more evidence. There are no better people in presenting this evidence than this.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long will a Senate trial last?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-qnp9QLV8\">in an interview on Fox News \u003c/a>last week, made the case for a relatively quick trial without witness testimony. \"If you know you have the votes, you've listened to the arguments on both sides, and you believe the case is so slim, so weak that you have the votes to end it, that might be what the president's lawyers would prefer, and you can certainly make a case for making it shorter rather than longer since it's such a weak case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president has been pushing for the witnesses who were not called to testify in the House probe — like Hunter Biden — to appear at the trial. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to those Senate Republicans urging a quick process, the president said last week, \"I'll do whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't mind a long process, because I'd like to see the whistleblower who's a fraud.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation came out of a complaint filed by a still-anonymous whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate trial is expected to take place in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any Senate Republicans potentially open to joining with Democrats to convict and remove the president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
