This resolution establishes the procedural rules for the Senate impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. It sets out timelines and processes for how the trial will proceed, including when the House and Secretary must file their legal documents and briefs, how much time each side gets to present arguments, and opportunities for senators to question both parties. The resolution allows each side up to 24 hours over three days to present their case, followed by 16 hours of questions from senators and four hours of final arguments. It also specifies that if senators vote to allow witness testimony, those witnesses must first be deposed before any testimony is heard in the Senate chamber. The entire proceeding is designed to follow the Senate's established rules for impeachment trials and culminates in a final Senate vote on each article of impeachment against the Secretary.
