Noah Feldman pulls a whole lot of procedure out of thin air. Look at the quotes he cites, and see the holes in his argument that would accommodate a dump truck.
He cites 3 clauses, none of which say anything about transmission of articles. He doesn't even provide pinpoint cites for the clauses he mentions.
Article 1, Section 2 Clause 5 provides in full:
5: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
Article 1, Section 3 Clause 6 provides in full:
6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Clause 7 includes the limits one what the Senate can do
7: Judgment in Cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
Article 1 Section 5 Clause 2 is the only other rule that is relevant, here:
2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
That is all there is.
If Feldman is relying on rules adopted by House and Senate, he does not say so. It's fair to conclude that he is making up procedural rules, all by himself.
This article is babble, and Feldman is a lightweight with no authority.
Bruh you retarded? The House must send over the articles.Or it is just a mote point.Common Sense. Go back and concern troll on reddit.
EDIT:Turns Out I was right.So the 5 people that downvoted me can fuck right off
