basically censure chance despicable ends file following form highest house language motion vote votes
And that is, ... we could file a motion to adjourn with the following language: that basically we ... acknowledge the impeachment vote of the House, we acknowledge, if this is true, that we do not have or even have a chance of having 67 votes for conviction, and we acknowledge that the impeachment vote in the House is the highest form of censure or condemnation for this president's despicable acts. And if you do that, that basically adjourns. It ends the battle.
