The House Rules Committee on Tuesday night passed a motion laying out the parameters for Wednesday’s full House debate — and vote — on two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

House lawmakers will have six hours to argue the charges Trump is facing — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

No amendments can be introduced at Wednesday’s hearing, which will be controlled by the House Judiciary Committee.

The House Rules Committee passed the parameters after a 10-hour hearing, much of which was spent rehashing arguments from last week’s marathon Judiciary Committee debate.

Republicans introduced an amendment to double the amount of debate time to 12 hours, but their effort was shot down by the Democratic-led panel.

The House vote is expected to pass largely along party lines. The impeachment proceedings then shift to the Senate, where a trial would be held.

A two-thirds majority in the GOP-led Senate would be needed to convict Trump.
