Democratic and Republican U.S. senators have been accused of partisanship over the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Senators took a solemn, historic oath last week to open the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, swearing that they would be impartial in the process. So what happens if any of those senators break that oath?
However, little can be done directly about any senators who violate the oath of impartiality because it is not legally binding. Tribe, a prominent critic of Trump, said he has argued that voting against hearing witnesses at the Senate trial—an issue that is currently the subject of a political wrangle between Republicans and Democrats in Congress—is"incompatible with the oath of impartiality."
