- Lines: 26
-
- Constitution of the United States
- Article II
- Section 4
-
- "The President ... of the United States, shall be removed from office on
- impeachment [by the House of Representative], and conviction [the Senate is the
- Jury and the House provides for the prosecution] of, treason, bribery, or other
- high crimes and misdemeanors."
-
- President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives,
- tried by the House of Representative before the Senate. The Senate found him
- not guilty by one vote.
-
- May I suggest reading "Profiles in Courage", by John F. Kennedy (who later
- became President). This is a collection of short stories, one of which is
- about Senator Ross [?], who provided the deciding not guilty vote.
