- This brings up another question if I can get it out before Alf posts
- a "cease and desist" message on this thread. I understand the
- difference between impeachment and removal from office and the
- responsibilities of the House and the Senate in the process but what
- I'm not sure of is... Was Nixon impeached? My almanac says that the
- House Judiciary Committee passed three articles of impeachment and
- sent them to the full House. It goes on to say that the House
- voted 412-3 to accept the committee report including the impeachment
- articles. Then he resigned. Did the 412-3 vote mean they impeached
- him and the next step would have been the Senate trial or would an
- actual Impeachment Bill have to be passed first? In Andrew Johnson's
- case there was no confusion since he was actually impeached but the
- Senate voted against removal.
-
- Private E-mail replies might be a good idea here since this is
- off-topic.
