- MICE AND THE MAJORITY OF - THE CABINET SHOULD DO WHAT ONLY - THEY CAN DO WHICH IS TO EERCISE - THE 25th AMENDMENT TO REMOVE - OBSCENITY THAT, IF THEY WON'T - TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN THOSE - WAYS, THEN CONGRESS HAS TO DO - WHAT IT CAN. - AND AS YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, IN - RSTAND MINORITY LEADER - SCHUMER IS EXPLORING WHETHER - THERE IS A PATHWAY FOR US TO - RECONVENE PROMPTLY AFTER THE - HOUSE PASSES AN ARTICLE OFHM - IMPET. - >> Woodruff: BUT YOU ARE VERY - FAMILIAR WITH YOUR REPUBLICAN - COLLEAGUES. - DO YOU THINK THERE IS ANY CHANCE - THAT MAJORITY LEADER MITCH - MCCONNELL WOULD AGREE TO THAT - SORT OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCESES - TO SPEED UP A TRIAL IN THE - SENATE IN JUST THE NEXT FEW - DAYS? - >> YOU KNOW JUDY, IT SEEMS - BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS - MOST STRIKING TO ME WEDNESDAY - NIGHT WAS AFTER LAW ENFORCEMENT - REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAPITOL - FOR THE MEN AND WEN OF LAWEFUL - ENFORCEMENT, THE AGENTS WHO - REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAPITOL

- UNDER VERY TOUGH CIRTACUES. - WHEN WE WENT BACK INTO THE - CHAMBER SOME OF THE STRONGEST A - LANGUAUT THE IMPORTANCE OF - CERTIFYING THIS ELECTION CAME - FROM VICE PRESIDENT PNCE, - MAJORITY LEADER McCONNELL. - OTHER SENATORS I RARELY AGREE - WITH. - FOLKS LIKE SENATORS COTNOND - LEE, TOOMEY AND OTHERS SPOKE - RY FORCEFULLY. - THEY RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT - IS FOR THERE TO BE TRUTHELLING - BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. - HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR - PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MISLEAD AND - MMISGUIDED BASE TO HEAR F - REPUBLICAN LEADERS THAT JOE - BIDEN IS THE DULY ELECT NEXT - PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. - >> BUT AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS - IT'S MORE LIKELY ONCE THE HOUSE - IMPEACHES, WHICH IT APPEARS IT - WILL DO. - A TRIAL WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THEE - TE ATER PRESIDENT TRUMP - LEAVES OFFICE. - IT WOULD BE WHEN JOE BIDEN WOULD - THEN BE THE PRESIDENT. - HOW DO YOU SEE THAT COMPLICATING - THEN PRESIDENT BIDEN'S AGENDA.A - WE JUST HERD THE REPORTING FROM

- YAMICHE ON SPLITTING THE TIME - EVERY DAY. - BUT IS THAT THE WAY JOE BIDEN - ADMINISTRATION?HIS - >> WELL, YOU KNOW, - PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN WAS IN NO - SMALL PART ELEEDECAUSE HE - RAN ON BRINGING OUR COUNTRY - TOGETHER, ON MOVING US FORWARD,T - HE DIVISIVE PRESIDENCY OF - DONALD TRUMP. - AND IN THIS MOMENT WHEN THE - PANDEMIC IS RAGING OUT OF - LEADERSHIP THAT JOE BIDEN CAN - PROVIDE TO OUR COUNTRY. - WE HAVE TWO PANDEMICS. - ONE THAT IS CVID-19 PUBLIC - HEALTH CRISIS BUT ALSO A - PANDEMIC OF DIVISION AND - DISTRUST. - SO THE SENATE GETS TO SET THE - RULES THAT IT WILL FOLLOW FOR - IMPEACHMENT, THE CONSTITUTION - DOESN'T PROVIDE EXACTLY HOW WE - WILL CARRY OUT A TRIAL. - WE COULD SEPARATE OUR DAYS ANDIN - BEGIHE MORNING DOING THE - WORK OF CONFIRMING SOME OF THE - VERY CAPABLE AND SEASONED - LEADERS THAT JOE BIDEN HAS - NOMINATED TO FORM HIS CABINET. - AND THE AFTERNOON CONDUCTING AN - IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. - A NUMBER OF MY REPUBLICAN

- THAT, THAT THAT IS NOT - ACCEPTABLE. - THAT IS THE MESSAGE THAT THEY - WANT TO SEND. - EVEN IF IT REQUIRES IMPEACHING A - PRESIDENT WHO HAS TEN DAYS LEFT - IN OFFICE, AND PROBABLY CAN'T - REMOVE HIM. - THERE IS ALSO THE THOUGHT OF IF - IT WERE TO SHOW GET TO - CONVICTION IN THE SENATE, THEY - COULD ALSO PASS A RESOLUTION - MAKING IT SO THAT HE COULDN'T - RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN. - SO THAT IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS. - BUT THENSI ON THE OTHE OF IT - THERE IS ALSO A CONCERN THAT, - THAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS, - IMPEACHMENT ISN'T EASY. - AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT. - THAT IT COULD GUM UP THE WORKS - FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF - PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN. - >> Woodruff: NO QUESTION. - AND AMYOREVEN BEFWE GET TO - THAT, I MEAN THE PROSPECT FOR - THE FIRST TIE EVER A PRESIDENT - WOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR A SCOND - TIME. - EVEN IF YOU DO END UP WHERE - SOME-- WITH THE TRIAL IN THE - SENATE TAKING PLACE AFTER - PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS LEFT OFFICE,
