TFW: Trump accomplished less than expected so the impeachment plan is kicked forward a few months and you still need it to wrap it up right before the election so he wins...
oy vey.

Doesn't matter. Senate can acquit without them. Senate has sole power to try impeachments.
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.
Article I, Section 3, Clause 6

If the impeachment process requires a trial in the Senate, then that means the House didn't actually impeach anybody, right? All this talk in the media about "impeachment, impeachment, impeachment" is just hot air. Trump was not impeached!

Exactly, the house can only review some case facts, (in the event they ever find some), and forward their own take on, plus whatever evidence
to the Senate where the lawfulness is debated in a trial. The house has done more to smear the president than to impeach, and that may just be their weakest disgrace.
