Technically true, but there was that other time when the President resigned rather than face impeachment, which should be counted. If anything, both times that the President was impeached shouldn't count since both were politically motivated. In our country's history, only Nixon--the one you didn't mention--committed crimes that warranted impeachment.
- hackuser 10y ago> there was that other time when the President resigned rather than face impeachment, which should be counted Agreed. I'll update my post to reflect it. Thanks. > both times that the President was impeached shouldn't count since both were politically motivated True in a way, but I don't think it changes the evidence (it's very rare). > In our country's history, only Nixon--the one you didn't mention--committed crimes that warranted impeachment. Let's say he's the only one who was caught and investigated.
