Today the Senate basically had a test vote, it appears based on the numbers that they don't have enough votes to impeach Trump (Constitutionality aside for the moment). Chess game. House Impeaches requiring Senate to hold trial. The Articles of Impeachment called out insurrection but also the fact that President Trump challenged the 2020 election results.

What prevents Chucky Schumer from shutting down the possibility of the trial, in lieu of today's vote. Everyone is hitching their cart to this trial horse. If it doesn't happen, and I'm not a legal scholar here, what's next? Moves and countermoves...
