Finding of fact plan tests constitutional bounds in impeachment
The proposal, pushed by Sen. Susan Collins, would have the Senate issue a finding of fact declaring Clinton guilty as charged and then vote on removal. Critics call it a constitutional monstrosity that could skirt removal and courts, while Collins and allies argue it remains within Senate powers.

Democrats Use Impeachment Talk To Boost Fundraising
The Democratic Party raised over 2 million this month through a fundraising letter designed to tap anti-impeachment sentiment. Incoming National Chairman Joe Andrew said the response doubled expectations, with donors giving 20 dollars out of frustration. Republicans countered that impeachment politics distort policy, while the GOP reported 2.9 million in January via direct mail and credited new leadership for donor enthusiasm.
