,mr4 ,marshall1 and ,mr4 ,austin ,scott 
of ,georgia7 submitted the following    
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,rules  ,,resolution      
,expressing the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that the ,senate should
 amend its rules to require a sitting   
,united ,states ,senator actively       
seeking election to the ,presidency of  

the ,united ,states to recuse himself or
 herself from the impeachment trial of  
an incumbent ,president of the ,united  
,states who is serving his or her first 
term in office4  ,whereas the ,house of 
,representatives has the sole power to  
impeach the ,president of the ,united   
,states2 ,whereas the ,senate has the   
sole power to conduct a trial to remove 
the ,president from office2 ,whereas1   
during an impeachment trial1 the ,vice  
,president of the ,united ,states does  
not preside over the ,senate in his or  
her role as ,president of the ,senate   
due to a clear conflict of interest1 but
 rather the ,chief ,justice of the      
,united ,states ,supreme ,court         
presides2 ,whereas a sitting ,united    
,states ,senator actively seeking the   
,presidency of the ,united ,states has a
 vested interest in the reputation and  
political future of an incumbent        
,president of the ,united ,states who is
 currently serving his or her first term
 in office2 ,whereas ,senate rules      

governing impeachment proceedings       
requires ,united ,states ,senators to   
make the following oath prior to an     
impeachment trial3  ,i solemnly swear   
7or affirm1 as the case may be7 that in 
all things appertaining to the trial of 
the impeachment of ------ ------1 now   
pending1 ,i will do impartial justice   
according to the ,constitution and laws3
 ,so help me ,god42  ,whereas a sitting 
,united ,states ,senator actively       
seeking to unseat the incumbent         
,president of the ,united ,states cannot
 claim impartiality in his or her       
political opponent's impeachment trial2 
and ,whereas the ,constitution grants   
both chambers of ,congress the authority
 to determine the ,rules of its         
,proceedings3 ,now1 therefore1 be it    
,that it is the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that the ,senate should
 amend its rules to require a sitting   
,united ,states ,senator actively       
seeking election to the ,presidency of  
the ,united ,states to recuse himself or

 herself from the impeachment trial of  
an incumbent ,president of the ,united  
,states who is serving his or her first 
term in office4
