Impeachment gets thrown around like political confetti every election cycle, but do we actually know what it means? Spoiler alert: it's not a "you're fired" button—it's more like a giant constitutional "Are you sure about this?" lever.
Join us as we dive deep into America's impeachment history, from the framers' original vision to the dramatic cases that shaped our democracy. We'll explore Andrew Johnson's near-miss in 1868, Nixon's Watergate resignation, Clinton's perjury scandal, and bring the story current with Donald Trump's unprecedented double impeachment in 2019 and 2021.
Featured Book: Impeachment: An American History by Jon Meacham, Timothy Naftali, Peter Baker, and Jeffrey A. Engel—four historians, four cases, one fascinating constitutional crisis after another.
What You'll Learn:
The Pattern: No president has ever been removed through impeachment. Every case reveals as much about Congress and the country as it does about the president in question.
