History shows that impeachments have been few and far between. We know there was Bill Clinton in the 90’s, Andrew Johnson just a few years after the civil war. And now we’re being dragged through it again with possibly the most ridiculous trials in the books. It is a common misconception that Richard Nixon was impeached. However, Tricky Dick resigned before the inevitable could occur.
