§ 3027 Impeachment Trial Absence Rules

• •If the person accused doesn't show up to the trial, the Senate can decide what to do next.
• •The Senate can either pick a new date for the trial or start the trial without the accused person there.
• •This only happens if they have proof that the accused person was told about the trial.

Imagine you got a letter saying you have to go to court, but you ignore it and don't show up.

The court can say, 'Okay, we'll have the trial without you' and make a decision even if you're not there.
