us again on al-jazeera mr bobbitt well let's take you back now to capitol hill and remind you of all the developments surrounding the bid to impeach u.s. president donald trump well right now the house is holding a procedural debate on the rules governing that voters trump is facing charges of abusing his power and obstructing congress in its investigation that impeachment vote is expected in the next few hours off to some hours of debate as we've seen republicans try to stall those proceedings bring a vote for the house to adjourn but they were defeated by the democratic majority or that republican maneuvering however has meant that the debate on the rules for the impeachment resolutions began about a half an hour a story a full hour later than shadows we'll be bringing you more on that as it happens. well let's take a quick look now at other news in the meantime from across the wild demonstrators have rallied again in new delhi to india's top court postponed hearings on a controversial new citizenship law until january and says it needs more details from the government the law make

lorena bobbitt and amanda knox tell us why they're teaming up. >>> a change at the breakfast table. how an iconic cereal is changing shape and a sign of the times. >> oh. >>> and forget the mall or the mail. the new way to reach santa on the final days before christmas but it'll cost you. >>> good wednesday morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. we do begin with a nasty morning commute for millions of americans right now. >> snow and rain are falling in the northeast. take a look. this was the scene a few hours ago in painesville, ohio. tough to see there. about 30 miles from cleveland along lake erie. light snow is possible during the morning commute today from washington, d.c. up to philadelphia where it's not expected to accumulate on the roads but could create slick conditions. >> some areas around new york city and into new england could see a couple of inches this morning before the bitter cold arrives. meanwhile, western new york state and pennsylvania could see three to six inches of lake-effect snow. we'll have the full forecast in just a few moments. >>> but in the m

mr bobbitt speaking of today's house vote a lot of the same representatives will be voting today back in the clinton impeachment process talk us through the contrast between then and now and how about the playing out in congress where the parties will reverse in those days the republicans had a majority in the house speaker was a very forceful figure newt gingrich. and i think that had someone else been the speaker. it seems unlikely to me that president clinton would have been impeached here speaker pelosi has been notably reluctant to go to pete for process . and i think that's at least one contrast the 2nd one is that before the clinton impeachment there had been many months of investigation by an independent counsel. that really hasn't been true here the robert muller was not an independent counsel he was under very sharp constraints as official of the department of justice and the timing was not so extensive so if this seems rushed it may be even more than you might think because unlike other periods we haven't had this long backlog of investigation and public preparation for the

and rushing the transmittal without fully exploring all the evidence is a mistake for them grabs mr bobbitt let me bring you in here again as well because not only would there be witnesses presumably then for the other side that we've been talking about bringing in potentially bolton and malvina but also there would be witnesses that the republicans could call and i know president trump has pushed to have joe biden testify his son hunter biden testify potentially calling nancy pelosi how does that work is it a one witness for the republicans one witness one witness for the democrats know. if the scene moves to the senate then a senate majority 51 votes the vice president doesn't preside doesn't have a vote in this case could determine the witness list. as to whether or not the republicans will want to call vice president biden or his son or the speaker. there's been some pushback in the republican caucus in the senate about that. so i don't know that that's that's altogether likely would seems to me the likeliest outcome is that if this goes to the senate then the majority leader takes cont

i want to bring in mr bobbitt here who is that former white house lawyer mr bob that we've been talking through a little bit about the process here and we've been talking about it for some hours now is this this impeachment process that we're watching unfold before us is this what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote that section of the constitution. really not. just because the founding fathers were so concerned that. public opinion and partisan loyalties would distract the senate from its duty to try the case in a juror tickle fashion. going to go back to allan baron mr barron i understand you've been involved in the impeachment and removal before federal judges and we've just had mr bobbitt there say that this is potentially not exactly the process that way that the founding fathers intended the trials that you were involved in presumably they weren't quite as partisan but in your mind what's the threshold of proof here that's required in the senate to remove a president. that's that's a very interesting question it came up literally before the senate in the 1st impeachme

and we also have philip bobbitt who is associate counsel to the office of the president on the press. and cost and is also a professor at columbia law school he's also written a book called impeachment a handbook we're going to start here in doha quote i want to recap something that nancy pelosi said she said our peoples republic is under threat it was derelict in their duty if they were not to act the president trump didn't give them a choice what do you make of that clearly the democrats didn't actually want to get to this point though they most certainly don't and i think the politics of the dog is not great for the democrats but the obstruction of the investigation was really a meat major thing many key witnesses will forbidden to testify i don't think congress really have a choice but to move forward i want to bring in michael isikoff here at this point michael how does all of this play out with the public i mean we we did hear this argument from for a representative collins saying that it was trampling on due process and and i mean what we're hearing here is that potentially the
