Impeachment Rules Debated as House Considers Timelines
Influential members face debates over impeachment rules with a two week hearing window from Aug. 19 to Aug. 31. A compromise aims for about 54 hours of debate and limited speaking time, while a motion to recommit for mere censure remains disputed. Senate and House panels refine procedures, with Chief Justice Burger’s potential trial role and evidence scope under review. Listening rooms prepare to broadcast Nixon tapes as hearings stall.
