Witnessing History: Getting Tickets To See The Impeachment Trial In Person
January 22, 2020
Robin Young and Serena McMahon
You don't have to be an elected official, lawyer or journalist to witness the impeachment trial of President Trump in person.
Regular folks can either try for guaranteed seats from their senator or take a chance waiting in line at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Each senator is allotted three tickets for each day of the trial. Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon says his office is prioritizing giving tickets to teachers and students.
Merkley gave two of his tickets to Mary Finn and her godson. Finn, a former high school teacher from Portland, Oregon, has been present in the gallery before. She witnessed former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial more than two decades ago. She knew from experience that anyone could go to their senator’s office for an opportunity to get tickets.
