of these documents in printed form held within a blue on the lobes and carried across the u.s. capitol building it's a pretty large complex on one side is the chamber of the u.s. house of representatives the other side is the u.s. senate and to mark this crossing from the the house which by the constitution is invested with the power of impeaching the president of of accusing him of these crimes that could result in his removal from office moving from that in crossing the middle threshold underneath the rotunda of the u.s. capitol building and moving those articles to the senate chambers well there is significance in that beyond just the pictures that we will soon be seeing but that also marks the crossing of this threshold in american history because trump will be only the 3rd u.s. president to be facing an impeachment trial and once these articles are officially transmitted he will be trailed by those 7 pietschmann manager or so will be those who are arguing the case on behalf of prosecutors of the democrats who presented these charges against trump and that that point those $100.00 u.s. senators in the upper chamber they will be sworn in and then. really most likely next week if no

house hands over this process to the united states senate. they are walking towardshe capitol rotunda. and then on the other side of that rotunda, it is symboc because he divides the house of representatives, the people's hoe, with the united states senate, which is supposed to be the more considerate and deliberative body. in the senate, that is wh we the senatol be sworn in for this trial of president donald j. trump. the trial will be presided over by the chief justice himself, john robertson and they will have they will have to t out toand administer impartial justice. this is a solemn a moment, albeit a divisive e. they will have these articles to the secretary of the u states senate from who works with mitch mcconnell, who is the senate majority leader. it is a formal ment, but also very dramatic andon symboli i want to bring in ron christie again. ron, president trump has been saying to friends that he doesn't want pee stain of imhmenon him. well, he has it now. anbut is it something he cet out from under, do you think? ron: tnk he can. it gives me chills, not just becausof the weather on capitol hill this evening, but he gives me chiims to see these es once again. i was counsel fo

building of the house of representatives, a congressman named fiorello laguardia invited friends, fellow legislators, tourists, reporters, newsreel cameramen, and even, perversely, the capitol hill police force to watch a demonstration. here is how historian geoffrey perret describes the demonstration. "laguardia blended two parts malt tonic, heretofore of interest only to anemics and easy to obtain at any drugstore, to one part near beer." that was a beer with minimal alcoholic content and thus it was legal under prohibition, although some reports from the time say that the taste was something like dishwater left in the sink overnight. "laguardia stirred the ingredients and allowed a few seconds to pass to heighten the suspense. then he drank up and licked his lips. the camera zoomed in. a brewmaster was standing by to sample the mixture. he pronounced it delicious." i think he was on laguardia's payroll. laguardia started passing on samples of his second string beer, and he even said that the police should try it, and he had people in the crowd pass glasses back to the police, who were confounded about whether they should arrest this man who was breaking the law. he was a
