- Well, I will have to wait until I can get to my history books tonight to be
- sure, but I still think that I am correct. I believe that you are confusing
- the trial *to* impeach with an impeachment trial. The vote *to* impeach
- Johnson failed by close vote, but it failed, and Johnson was not impeached.
- If it had passed the vote, then, yes, Johnson would have been impeached.
- That is, he would have been accused, if I remember by wording, of "high
- crimes and misdemeanors."
