There has been no individual as deeply associated with Iran’s regional network of partners and proxies as Soleimani, which made him a hero to Tehran’s allies and a villain without peer to its rivals,” Rafati said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who is vacationing on his estate in Florida, tweeted a photo of an American flag with no other message.

U.S. officials accuse him of coordinating Iraqi militia attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. officials have also accused Soleimani of sponsoring terrorism and singled him out as a major figure for decades. The Trump administration placed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — which includes the Quds Force — on the State Department’s list of terrorist groups. It was the first time a government’s official military was placed on the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norman Roule, now retired, tracked Iran through his career with the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

In previous years, utility lines and other equipment sparked fires when winds were extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom declared he “owned” the blackouts and would fight to keep them from happening again, putting himself squarely in the center of an issue that had prompted a public outcry.

Perhaps the most consequential was the Trump administration's efforts to stop California from continuing to set its own auto emissions regulations. In response, Newsom teamed with four major automakers to go against Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he wasn't battling with the president, Newsom was advancing policy at a frenetic pace.

"content": "\u003cp>For decades, major tobacco companies have fought against raising the age limit to buy their products from 18 to 21. But recently, some cigarette and e-cigarette giants have started lobbying for the minimum age to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Raising the purchase age to 21 reduces underage access,” a radio ad from e-cigarette giant Juul \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.juul.com/t21/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">declared\u003c/a>. “That’s why Juul Labs supports making 21+ the law nationwide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, President Trump signed a congressional spending bill that includes a new federal regulation raising the age of purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But health advocates are not wholeheartedly celebrating the change. They worry it may help the companies stave off further sweeping regulations of their industry and wonder how stringently it will be enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rob Crane, a physician at Ohio State University, has been campaigning to raise the minimum age for more than two decades through \u003ca href=\"https://tobacco21.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his group Tobacco 21\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it started pushing for firmer laws, “we were killed at every turn,” he remembers. “The industry hated this idea and they used their very potent political lobbying power to stifle it in every state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archival tobacco industry documents show why the companies objected, says \u003ca href=\"https://tobacco.ucsf.edu/people/stanton-glantz-phd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stan Glantz\u003c/a>, the director of University of California San Francisco’s Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s because it made it harder to market to kids,” he says. “[It’s] very hard to design a marketing campaign where the nominal target [is] … people who are 21, and still pick up 12-year-olds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the beginning of the Tobacco 21 movement, the industry landscape has changed considerably. Now millions of teens are hooked on e-cigarettes, a source of considerable public concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health advocates are currently pushing for more sweeping regulations than the age limit raise, such as banning flavors for e-cigarettes — something the industry has fought. University of Virginia historian \u003ca href=\"https://history.virginia.edu/people/profile/sem9dw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sarah Milov\u003c/a>, who wrote a book about tobacco, says the big companies have likely been willing to accept the stricter age limits “in order to take the public’s eyes off of other proposals for addressing youth vaping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glantz says he thinks the new federal age restrictions give the industry “something they can argue: ‘Well, we’ve done enough. You don’t need to get rid of flavors,’ which in terms of reducing youth tobacco use is probably the single most important thing to do right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthew Myers, the president of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, echoed that idea. He said \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/press-releases/2019_12_11_congress_health_bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a statement\u003c/a> that the new law “will not bring about meaningful change, but will lead to the tobacco companies falsely claiming that the youth e-cigarette problem has been solved even as it continues to grow worse every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an op-ed earlier this year in \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/431651-raise-the-legal-age-for-all-tobacco-products-to-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hill\u003c/a>, Altria CEO Howard Willard said the Food and Drug Administration made clear that the company might find itself in trouble with federal regulators unless it did more to address teen vaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put simply, we cannot continue to expand … [e-cigarettes] for adults unless we help curb youth access to all tobacco products, including e-vapor,” Willard said. Altria owns Philip Morris USA, which makes Marlboro cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal age limit raise comes after a rapid succession of new laws at the state and local levels. At least 19 states and the District of Columbia have passed some form of the 21 age limit, many in the past year and with the support of big companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Glantz says he sees a familiar strategy from the industry as these laws have passed. In this and previous fights, he says tobacco companies will preemptively lobby for bills that are weak or don’t spell out effective enforcement mechanisms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"vaping\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve tried to co-opt the issue and started pushing bad legislation,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two most prominent companies supporting the age restriction are Juul and Altria. When NPR reached out, they didn’t respond to these criticisms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal legislation was put forward in the Senate by Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mitch McConnell, the majority leader who has long been seen as a friend to the tobacco industry. As \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/06/17/730496066/tobaccos-special-friend-what-internal-documents-say-about-mitch-mcconnell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR’s Embedded podcast\u003c/a> found, “vaping and tobacco companies are currently employing McConnell’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.wfs-dc.com/about-us/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">former\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldxmlrelease/2019/Q1/301038362.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">policy adviser\u003c/a>, his former \u003ca href=\"http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldxmlrelease/2019/RR/301024486.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">policy director\u003c/a> and his \u003ca href=\"https://www.akingump.com/en/lawyers-advisors/hunter-bates.html\">former\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldxmlrelease/2018/Q4/301009679.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chief of staff\u003c/a> to lobby on their behalf.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ID=17523CAF-6BA1-4894-9BD0-45A67B1A2D96\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">after the federal law passed\u003c/a>, McConnell called the recent spate of vaping-related illnesses an “urgent crisis” and stressed that the new measure will help “keep these dangerous products away from our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA has jurisdiction over enforcing the federal law. Crane, the longtime advocate for raising the age limit, has questions about how aggressive it will be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he’s watched how the FDA regulated the previous age limit of 18, and says he would want to see more compliance checks and fewer violations allowed for tobacco retailers. He says the law will do little to keep tobacco products away from kids and young adults if it’s not enforced, and he believes local health authorities would be more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that waiting for the FDA is kind of like waiting for Godot. They don’t do anything. They bark but never bite,” Crane says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn praised the new age limit and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SteveFDA/status/1208232123833958401?s=20\">said in a tweet \u003c/a>that “more details will be forthcoming as we update our regulations to carry out this provision of law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crane says his group is going to continue pushing for even tougher laws at the state and local levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Now millions of teens are hooked on e-cigarettes, a source of considerable public concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health advocates are currently pushing for more sweeping regulations than the age limit raise, such as banning flavors for e-cigarettes — something the industry has fought. University of Virginia historian \u003ca href=\"https://history.virginia.edu/people/profile/sem9dw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sarah Milov\u003c/a>, who wrote a book about tobacco, says the big companies have likely been willing to accept the stricter age limits “in order to take the public’s eyes off of other proposals for addressing youth vaping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glantz says he thinks the new federal age restrictions give the industry “something they can argue: ‘Well, we’ve done enough. You don’t need to get rid of flavors,’ which in terms of reducing youth tobacco use is probably the single most important thing to do right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthew Myers, the president of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, echoed that idea. He said \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/press-releases/2019_12_11_congress_health_bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a statement\u003c/a> that the new law “will not bring about meaningful change, but will lead to the tobacco companies falsely claiming that the youth e-cigarette problem has been solved even as it continues to grow worse every day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an op-ed earlier this year in \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/431651-raise-the-legal-age-for-all-tobacco-products-to-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hill\u003c/a>, Altria CEO Howard Willard said the Food and Drug Administration made clear that the company might find itself in trouble with federal regulators unless it did more to address teen vaping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put simply, we cannot continue to expand … [e-cigarettes] for adults unless we help curb youth access to all tobacco products, including e-vapor,” Willard said. Altria owns Philip Morris USA, which makes Marlboro cigarettes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal age limit raise comes after a rapid succession of new laws at the state and local levels. At least 19 states and the District of Columbia have passed some form of the 21 age limit, many in the past year and with the support of big companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Glantz says he sees a familiar strategy from the industry as these laws have passed. In this and previous fights, he says tobacco companies will preemptively lobby for bills that are weak or don’t spell out effective enforcement mechanisms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Its \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/22/790553940/long-running-san-francisco-musical-revue-beach-blanket-babylon-nears-end\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">final performance\u003c/a> is set for New Year’s Eve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be so bittersweet,” said Curt Branom, one of its longtime performers. “We’re all moving on to other things, but we all know [what] a magical moment, really, in time that this place has been for all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take its ongoing response to news from the White House.\u003cbr>\nSchuman Silver took over producing “Beach Blanket” from her husband after he died of complications from AIDS in 1995.

It was originally scheduled to run for only six weeks, but word spread, and it quickly became a quintessential San Francisco experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Beach Blanket Babylon” has since been performed more than 17,000 times in front of 6.5 million people, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, David Bowie and Robin Williams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780436\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11780436 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/RS39499_Anita-Hill-qut-1020x1436.jpg\" alt=\"Renee Lubin (left) and Art Hervey (right) as Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas in Beach Blanket Babylon, 1991.\" width=\"640\" height=\"901\" data-wp-editing=\"1\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Renee Lubin (left) and Art Hervey (right) as Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas in Beach Blanket Babylon, 1991. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of David Allen, Beach Blanket Babylon)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The production tries to maintain a politically agnostic stance.

Carrying a small suitcase on his way out of the White House, his character sang a doctored version of “One Day More,” a famous number from the musical “Les Miserables.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"beach-blanket-babylon\"]\u003cem>A few days more, and very soon I will be history \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>And now they’re starting to throw shoes at me\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>America: please hear my call\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Cheney made me do it all.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said it’s not unusual show up at rehearsal to find the script for that evening’s performance in a state of flux. Cast members might be learning new lines right up to the moment they make their entrance through the sliding doors center stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes there would be a new line taped to the back of the doors,” Jones said. “So you’d be standing there and literally reading something and memorizing it, and then the doors would open.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said between the hectic costume changes (most of the performers have at least 10 different outfits) and constantly changing script, it was sometimes hard to stay on top of things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were times when you would go on stage with a wig half on,” Jones said. “There might have been times when I went on stage without a wig on; without shoes on, certainly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the payoff of responding to the headlines almost as fast as they happen is often worth the moments of chaos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuman Silver, a self-described “news junkie,” happened to be watching “The Tonight Show” when Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his plans to run for California governor in August 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her mind immediately went back to a 1991 “Beach Blanket” skit based on Schwarzenegger’s “Terminator” movie franchise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sent one of her stage managers to search “Beach Blanket’s” cavernous warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just said, ‘Please go to the warehouse and get the Arnold breastplate.

The first article, which charges Trump with abuse of power, was approved largely along a party line vote, 230-197-1. The second article on obstructing Congress passed 229-198-1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two Democrats opposed the first impeachment article, Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson and New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who is expected to switch parties to the GOP this week. Maine Rep. Jared Golden voted for the first article but against the second one. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, voted present. No Republicans voted for either article, although Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP earlier this year to become an independent because he supported impeachment, also voted for both articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House spent six hours of debate on the articles throughout the day on Wednesday. The vote came just one day before the 21 year anniversary of the House voting to impeach President Bill Clinton in 1998. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the debate, Democrats framed the choice as one to protect the Constitution and democracy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we do not act now,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a speech on the floor, \"we would be derelict in our duty.\" She added that the president \"gave us no choice\" and called Trump an \"ongoing threat\" to national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and other Democratic women wore black to signify the solemnity of the occasion. But Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., disputed the idea of this being a somber moment for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a solemn occasion,\" Collins said. \"When you go looking for something for three years, and especially this year since January, you ought to be excited when you've found it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins went on. \"Why do we keep calling this a solemn occasion when you've been wanting to do this ever since the gentleman was elected?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president, apparently following the debate at the White House, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1207355923573989376\">tweeted \u003c/a>(in all caps) that the \"radical left\" is putting forward \"atrocious lies\" and called the push for his impeachment \"an assault on America and an assault on the Republican party!!!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1207355923573989376?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday morning, the House debated the rules on how to proceed and approved it on a mostly party-line vote, 228-197. There were just two Democratic defections — Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota and Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These same two opposed the House resolution formalizing the impeachment inquiry. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/15/788219342/house-democrat-who-opposed-impeachment-plans-to-switch-to-the-republican-party\">Van Drew is planning to switch parties\u003c/a> but has not officially announced when he will become a Republican. The lone independent, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, voted with Democrats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules were determined by the House Rules Committee on Tuesday night. The morning session also saw some debate from members of Congress about Trump's impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one came to Congress to impeach a president,\" Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., said on the House floor. But, he added, Trump's behavior \"is so blatantly wrong that ignoring his abuses of power would be abdicating the oath we made to protect this country and uphold our Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members framed their votes as a legacy moment for their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., addressed his floor speech to his children. \"I want to tell you the story of this day,\" he said. \"Let the record show that today justice won, that we did our job, that we kept our word, that we stood our sacred ground. Let the record show that we did not let you down.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy concluded, \"I love you. Listen to Mom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Trump Impeachment Inquiry\" tag=\"impeachment\"]Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., referenced Scripture. \"When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers,\" Loudermilk said. \"During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Republicans complained about the impeachment process and argued the president has committed no crimes. There is \"no proof, none\" that the president committed an impeachable offense, said Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz. She charged that \"Democrats are tearing this country apart; they're tearing families apart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., argued that Democrats have long wanted to impeach Trump. \"If we're really being honest,\" Cole said, \"Democrats have been searching to impeach President Trump since the day he was elected.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing lawmakers from both sides of the aisle did agree on: It was a sad day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a sad day. It is not a day for joy,\" said Rep.

The first article, which charges Trump with abuse of power, was approved largely along a party line vote, 230-197-1. The second article on obstructing Congress passed 229-198-1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only two Democrats opposed the first impeachment article, Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson and New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who is expected to switch parties to the GOP this week. Maine Rep. Jared Golden voted for the first article but against the second one. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, voted present. No Republicans voted for either article, although Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who left the GOP earlier this year to become an independent because he supported impeachment, also voted for both articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House spent six hours of debate on the articles throughout the day on Wednesday. The vote came just one day before the 21 year anniversary of the House voting to impeach President Bill Clinton in 1998. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the debate, Democrats framed the choice as one to protect the Constitution and democracy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we do not act now,\" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a speech on the floor, \"we would be derelict in our duty.\" She added that the president \"gave us no choice\" and called Trump an \"ongoing threat\" to national security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and other Democratic women wore black to signify the solemnity of the occasion. But Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., disputed the idea of this being a somber moment for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not a solemn occasion,\" Collins said. \"When you go looking for something for three years, and especially this year since January, you ought to be excited when you've found it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins went on. \"Why do we keep calling this a solemn occasion when you've been wanting to do this ever since the gentleman was elected?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A handful of congressional Democrats have been calling for Trump to be impeached even before they won control of the House in the 2018 election.

But with the House then controlled by Republicans, the effort was largely ignored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"impeachment-inquiry\"]When Democrats won a majority in the House after the 2018 elections, impeachment talk grew louder and more, well, colorful. Sherman and Green reintroduced their article of impeachment, and that same day, Jan. 3rd, freshman Democrat Rashida Tlaib, at a MoveOn reception on Capitol Hill proclaimed Democrats would \"impeach the motherf*****.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to tamp down pro-impeachment sentiments in the early days of the new Congress, calling it \"divisive\" and suggesting lawmakers should wait and see how the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"He's just not worth it\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi repeated her opposition to impeachment in a \u003cem>Washington Post Magazine\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/03/11/feature/nancy-pelosi-on-impeaching-president-trump-hes-just-not-worth-it/\">interview in March\u003c/a>, words which Republicans have repeatedly pointed to in the months since.

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.
