order to be able to remove president trump from office with such little time left if you think back, shep, to the last time president trump was impeached in 2019 it took the house months to go through their impeachment inquiry and then the senate, another 2 1/2 weeks to put the president on trial and ultimately acquit him. at this point in time congress isn't even here. they've gone home with the house not scheduled to be back in session until right around inauguration so it would have to happen, first they would have to bring both chambers back to washington and then instead of going through the normal process and committee in the house, according to house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler they would put the articles directly on the floor of the house and vote on them but then again it would still have to go over to the senate for a trial where it's unclear whether there would be enough support for that to pass with republicans like lindsey graham saying the president would have to do something else to cross the line before he would consider putting all options on the table and m

. >> reporter: well, shep, the controversy over these executive orders shows you just how politically charged the battle over climate change will be for the white house. already republicans are slamming this move. west virginia, shelley describing it as a disaster. john cornyn of texas calling it shortsighted and heavy handed. most of the ire is directed at that ban on new oil and gas leases on federal property business groups are worried that this is really just the first step toward ending all oil and gas production on federal land, and that's a move that could threaten more than a million jobs in just the next two years, they say, wyoming could lose 33,000 jobs. new mexico could lose 62,000, and in texas, more than 120,000 jobs would be at risk. >> so pushing back against this industry at a time when the economy is still faring relatively poorly right now, we think is bad economics, and it's certainly not good for american energy independence. >> reporter: but the white house says that today's actions are about creating jobs, not getting rid of them, and that there will be new oppo

steve, what are you seeing >> shep, there has been some movement here. let's take a look at it, here's the newest numbers from morning consul here, and they asked the basic question, do you think the president should be impeached. the majority, 53% say yes, the president should be impeached. 40% saying no. that is movement from a year ago when we were going through this the first time you can see this is the poll averages this is december 2019 when the house was impeaching trump for the first time 49% on average supported then, 44% opposed. february of 2020 when the senate had its trial, split down the middle, 48%, and 48% on whether to support or oppose removing him. it is up over 50 it's an up tick of several points, although one thing to keep an eye on here. there is still a dramatic partisan divide on this. 13% of republicans say they think the president should be impeached and that goes a long way toward explaining why there were some republican votes for impeachment in the house today, the vast majority of republican members did stand with the pres

, shep. >> what about his send-off what does tomorrow morning look like for the outgoing president? >> reporter: well, look, it's not going to look like anything we've seen before. we're used to images of the new president coming up the steps of the portico to shake hands with the outgoing president that's not going to happen trump is going to leave town before biden is sworn in he's not going to attend the inauguration and in fact we understand that the person greeting president biden when he gets to the white house will the chief usher and not the out going president of the united states so this will have a different feel than what we've seen before. nonetheless the biden team will take office at 12:01 tomorrow. >> eamon javers, thanks very much. >>> the president leaves office facing an impeachment trial. unclear when the proceedings will start since the single article has still not been sent to the u.s. senate but senator chuck schumer who is set to become the majority leader tomorrow says it's but a matter of time >> let me be clear, there will be an impeachment trial in the un

>> well, shep, to your point about how uncontroversial this day normally is, senator claire mccaskill was asked about her recollections of this day, she said it was such a day about fanfare, she didn't even remember where she was on these prior days she left the senate after losing her re-election in 2018. she said normally they would just send a few representatives from the chamber to go represent and count and witness this normally part of history that happens without fanfare. as far as those images of those people who are outside the senate chamber and who have gathered inside the capitol, i want to explain a little bit about what it means to say there's been a breach at the capitol. not only on a day like today would you have multiple layers of security guards and federal police outside the capitol, but on any given day to enter the capitol building, you have to go through multiple entrances of security that means metal detectors and security similar to the tsa at the airport where you have your bags or anything on you essentially checked to make sure anyone entering the premises

>> well that is a big question the two weeks does matter, shep. the fact that we have two weeks between now and the start of the senate impeachment trial is a big deal because there is a window for legislation and if that does break down, two options. one, the filibuster and go with 51 votes and slam it through that way biden doesn't want to do that. the other more difficult is try to do the checks and send money to the people as you said and break it down into smaller pieces that is not their ideal scenario so they may have to face the situation where they just say, look, we need to get this done, the american people need it, we're getting rid of the legislative filibuster and we're going to 51 votes and deal with it. >> ben white from politico, thank you. >>> outrage in washington after national guard members were seen resting on the floor of a parking garage overnight they were tasked with protecting the inauguration a spokesperson said the troops were allowed to rest inside of the capitol building but then there was a request made to move them

shep. >> hallie, one more thing. what are your sources saying about the tepnsion or what it's like inside the white house in these waning days? >> reporter: uncomfortable is a word i think could sum it up the president is by all accounts feeling very defiant there is this talk he perhaps will resign or step down rather than face what you and kayla were just talking about prospect of second impeachment. based on the reporting that i've done and sources i've talked to, it is very difficult, if not almost impossible, to see how that would happen. president truly feels aggrieved by many accounts is isolated, but not extended group you have staffers who are feeling concerned who are still really upset about what went down on wednesday and the response to it and the way that that has been handled. so it is a very sort of tense and awkward ending to an administration that has had its share, i think it's fair to say of tense and awkward moments but nothing like this before now the president is leaving office with the shadow
