Senate. Rules for Senate sitting as High Court of Impeachment, 1826
|
|
The Senate rules for impeachment, numbers ten and fourteen, were annulled and replaced for the trial of Samuel Blagge. If either side made a motion, it had to be in writing and handed to the Court. The Court read it aloud and each side could make remarks. Then the Court "owned" the motion and could either decide on the spot or go out to talk about it. When the Court returned, the decision was announced. It was the same for questioning a witness--whomever brought the witness examined him first, then the other side, then back to the first side. The Court could not ask questions until the examination was complete. Any objections were treated in the same manner as motions.
