Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy will preside over the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
Leahy, D-Vt., confirmed that he will preside over the trial in a statement Monday.
The president pro tempore has allegedly presided over Senate impeachment trials of non-presidents. “When presiding over an impeachment trial, the president pro tempore takes an additional special oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws,” Leahy said. “It is an oath that I take extraordinarily seriously.”
