What is at stake? What outcomes are most probable?
Since certainly the President will be impeached
The Senate, for the trial, will be responsible
Republicans will lead on all decisions reached
The facts are uncontested by Republicans
Pres. Trump demanded ‘favors’ for Trump’s benefit
Zelensky must comply before Trump lifts the ban
On military aid Ukraine was meant to get
Surrounding this, related acts impeachable
Will be included in the articles put forth
For voting by the House, consensus reachable
How will the Senate act? Their oath: its worth?
A non conviction for the future will imply
By virtue of a non-conviction’s precedent
That foreigners could meddle with impunity
To influence elections of our presidents
And presidents could, too, ignore subpoenas sent
By Congress as their duty in their oversight
Like kings, above the law will be all Presidents
Obstructing justice, wielding presidential might
I wonder if Republicans have thought this through
The consequences of acquittal, future risks
Or will they dumbly vote as Trump would have them do
In subjugation to Trump’s will; they can’t resist
