Some of the pundits have estimated that they might try to draft the articles and and get them voted out of committee to the floor for debate by Christmas so that a final vote can happen by the end of the year and the Senate trial (depending on the whims of Turtle) would start some time in January.

An issue that will get in the way is the Continuing Resolution for government funding that expires December 21st, so getting appropriations passed and signed becomes the perfect performance vehicle by the WH to try to scuttle the votes.
