I don't know if they're required to attend or not. But if they're out on the campaign trail instead of in the senate when the trial is taking place, it certainly would look like they aren't doing their job.

New Hampshire isn't until 11 FEB. I don't think I'd be too worried about NH, it's Super Tuesday, 3 March that's the big ones. There is a chance the nomination could be decided on Super Tuesday or at least have a presumptive nominee.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
