Can a President who is being impeached by the House just do nothing in response?

I will preface this by saying, I don't think the Democratic led House is really going to go forward to try to impeach Trump.

I'm just asking, though, if they decided to stupidly do so, could the administration and the House Republicans just decide not to participate in any of the proceedings AT ALL? I don't think there is anything that would constitutionally mandate them to do so.

The House voting to impeach doesn’t have any practical effect on the President. It’s the Senate that would decide to remove/censure/do nothing.

Considering we finally have a Senate that under almost no circumstances would find anywhere close to 67 votes against Trump... yes

And if Roberts wants to have a wise idea to be hero of the left again I vote put the foot down and say enforce that ruling bitchboy. The US Secret service and Department of Defense vs. US Marshall Service battle royale. I know who wins.

Yes, he can poke fun at it and joke about it.

It would be the perfect one because it wouldn't be taken seriously be the American people anyway.

I think participation would be fun and good for the pubs.
Just think of all the comments and responses that would be missed if they sat out?

Their strategy is to hold up Trump with endless, baseless charges and investigations in order to prevent him from accomplishing anything more for his remaining term. Pretty much will guarantee a Trump reelection because the amount of bullshite about to come from the Dems will be staggering.

it depends on how many Romney's there really are.

it will all be a dog and pony show just like all public hearings. honest Bob is now going after nudie pics from the muh russians firm that paid for pokemon. Mueller can go to a microphone at any time: and be all dramatic and break into soap operas and says HE recommends criminal charges for POTUS.

Some R's may say, 'wow, we have to listen to honest Bob.' OR, he could just investigate until the cows come home to put a black cloud over the Trump Presidency.
