2. What committee?

And to answer your question,

Simple majority in House moves charges to the Senate. The Senate must vote a 2/3rds majority to convict on each allegation.

15. Conference!

But I knew what you meant.

Leaders assign a Conference Committee, they work on the sausage, bills go back to each body, and if they agree after passage, they go to the President.

16. Yep, I definitely should hit the sack

Thanks for the thread by the way.
