Harry Reid said "Mr. President, I stress the importance of all Senators attending the impeachment proceedings. I urge them to be in the Chamber at 10 a.m. tomorrow for a live quorum, which will begin at that time, prior to the commencement of the impeachment trial proceedings. This is an important constitutional part of the Senate's responsibilities, and each Senator has an obligation to participate in the case and for his or her office to be present and informed and participate. This type of impeachment proceeding has happened only a few times in the history of the Republic. It is very important for Senators to participate. ___________________
