The House voted to designate the seven impeachment managers in a resolution on Wednesday. Pelosi signed the resolution formalizing the articles later in the day, and the managers then marched across the Capitol to deliver the charges to the Senate in an archaic ceremony steeped in tradition.
John Roberts, the chief justice of the Supreme Court who is responsible for presiding over the trial under the Constitution, will be sworn in Thursday afternoon. He will then swear in the senators, who will take an oath promising impartiality in the upcoming trial.
