The Constitution gives the House of
Representatives the sole power to impeach presidents and other federal
officeholders, while it gives the Senate the duty to hold trials for all who
have been impeached. Explore the presidential impeachments that have happened
to date in U.S. history, focusing on one such impeachment of your choosing
(Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump [either time]). What role did
Congressional partisanship appear to have played in both House impeachment
charges and Senate trials?
In responses to your peers, discuss the
similarities and differences between their assessments and your own. Based on
both assessments, do you think changes should be made to the impeachment
process? Why or why not? Be sure to support your post through the incorporation
of scholarly sources.
