Impeached Presidents

According to www.history.com, Andrew Johnson was the 1st President of the United States to be impeached. Andrew impeachment was in 1868. Do you the definition of being impeached? Impeach simply means your being charged for a crime. Some people wonder if you become impeached are you still the President; yes, you are still the President. Just because Andrew Johnson was being impeach that doesn't mean he is kicked out of office. There is long process that Presidents must go through before deciding if they're going to win or lose the case. The steps of impeachment are first the House of Representatives must vote, and then the House of Senate. Some people may know that in today history, we are currently going through this process with President Donald Trump.

There is are lots of similarities and differences between President Donald Trump and President Andrew Johnson. Obviously, both presidents experienced the process of impeach, but they difference is one impeachment was centuries ago and the other impeachment Is happening now. Andrew Johnson was impeached because he fired one of his secretaries without going through Congress first. Donald Trump is being impeached for abusing his power. They difference between Trump and Johnson is, Johnson won his case, but Trump case is still in the process, so we don’t yet. Johnson and Trump both somewhat abuses their power. Johnson and Donald both love firing people that works for them.

Out of all 51 presidents, only 3 has been impeach; which is a bad thing. I haven’t mention yet, but President Bill Clinton was the 2nd president to be impeached. Bill Clinton was impeached for cheating on his wife; he won the case. The similarity between Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton is they both won their case neither one was kicked out of office. Being the President is a huge step because you literally have to be perfect, which is impossible.

African American’s was always taken like a joke, so when a African American tries to help the community, country, or just try to do positive things in general it never turns out good. With that being said, in 1904 George Edwin Taylor became the first African American to run for president.
