Both Senate trials ended in acquittal. But that's not enough for two leading Republicans, who last week introduced a pair of resolutions to "expunge" Trump's impeachments, making it as though they never happened — and it's an effort that seems well within the powers of the House GOP to do.   The draft resolutions are the handiwork of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-G, and Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y, who each have sponsored one bill and co-sponsored the other. When the two entered the House, it would have been hard to imagine them working together on anything. But Stefanik has completely rewritten her political DNA from moderate to MAGA, a transformation that helped her become the chair of the House Republican Caucus. At the same time, Greene has been shifting from the far fringe of the party into an ally of the House leadership.   This is a situation with very few parallels in the history of Congress, leaving three core questions unanswered: Can the House even "expunge" the impeachments; what effect would doing so have; and can the resolutions pass?   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article.
