The One That Got Away
Of thirty-five attempts at impeachment, only nine have come to trial. Because it cripples Congress with a lengthy trial, impeachment is infrequent. Many officials, seeing the writing on the wall, resign rather than face the ignominy of a public trial.
The most famous of these cases is of course that of President Richard Nixon, a Republican. After five men hired by Nixon's reelection committee were caught burglarizing Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate Complex on June 17, 1972, President Nixon's subsequent behaviorâ??his cover-up of the burglary and refusal to turn over evidenceâ??led the House Judiciary Committee to issue three articles of impeachment on July 30, 1974. The document also indicted Nixon for illegal wiretapping, misuse of the CIA, perjury, bribery, obstruction of justice, and other abuses of executive power. "In all of this," the Articles of Impeachment summarize, "Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as president and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States." Impeachment appeared inevitable, and Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974. The Articles of Impeachment, which can be viewed at watergate.info - The Scandal That Destroyed President Richard Nixon, leave no doubt that these charges qualify as "high crimes and misdemeanors," justifying impeachment.

Here's some trivia. . .
Name the president that was impeached. It wasn't Nixon. . .
and I'm sick of hearing people talk crap about him. I would still vote for him. One thing and you turn your back on him. He did a whole lot better for this country then the precious Clinton. . .
