Why Pelosi holding the Articles a bit is a good idea:

1) She can send them over whenever she wants.

2) It’s driving Trump and the Republicans crazy.

Among the fun things that can be found in Federalist 65 regarding the Senate's role in Presidential impeachment:

...the injury to the innocent, from the procrastinated determination of the charges which might be brought against them; the advantage to the guilty, from the opportunities which delay would afford to intrigue and corruption; and in some cases the detriment to the State, from the prolonged inaction of men whose firm and faithful execution of their duty might have exposed them to the persecution of an intemperate or designing majority in the House of Representatives.

Hello, Speaker Pelosi. Alexander Hamilton saw you coming 230 years ago! You are engaging in the worst possible course of action that the Founders worried about. Even from that distance of time, they knew you well:

will, at certain seasons, extend his sceptre over all numerous bodies of men.
