>> the most interesting things -- there's been a lot of questions about what it will look like. there's one thing everybody agrees on and that is everybody was going to get the holidays. they were going to get agreement to break until some time the first week of january. when you talk to democrats, they have been so keyed on the idea that it only takes four republican senators to guarantee the procedures they got. >> a simple majority for those votes. >> on a resolution vote. and the idea with holding the articles helps them get the four republicans or more to come to their side is tenuous at best. the republicans somewhat on the fence, not necessarily moving the president but at least the process, want this to move in a traditional historically precedented fashion and this is not that.
