this is a lot different in the case that richard nixon . watergate? different i in the case that richard nixon never went to trial after he was impeached by the house. the republican hierarchy basically saw the writing on the wall after this smoking gun tape came out where richard nixon basically instructed his aides to contact the cia to direct the fbi to stop the investigation into the watergate cover—up. basically, they saw the writing on the wall of the are the facts, the tape and showed that nixon was losing his support and goldwater who was the senior republican senator at the time basically told them that he would be voting to convict and that is what caused richard nixon to leave. this obviously is a completely different situation, we've got a number of republican senators who were not really basing their verdict on the facts. they believe they cannot afford to that if they were to convict, that it would leave to a primary challenge and ultimately their defeat from the senate and so we got a completely different political problem created by a

i would say a better precedent would be richard nixon. richard nixon, course, resigned and nobody thought about impeaching him and going ahead and having a trial and in 2010 there was a federal judge was also impeached and he resigned both house and the senate as well so that's it and the senate trial was dismissed. that is far more recent and i was a compelling president. >> host: same question to you, lisbeth. >> guest: i think the bill not example you mentioned is illustrative because itll shows the danger if you don't allow a senate trial of someone who is no longer in office. belknap raced to hand in his resignation to try to avoid the impeachment remedy that is in the constitution and again we don't want to incentivize our leaders to abuse the public cotrust and try to avoid the constitutional remedy of impeachment by handing in their resignation to avoid an impeachment vote or so on. i would also note that the impeachment here never called impeachment did occur or pass by the house under the constitutional authority while president

in 1974, both parties condemned richard nixon.ace add senate trial because he resigned first, it was clear that he would be convicted. the effect was banishment from american political life. and that was felt enough by president gerald ford and many republican leaders, that being banished from political life was enough of a cost, enough of a penalty. and so richard nixon did not face any criminal charges. we have now the opposite in the case of trump. he was not banished politically. republican leaders did not step up to do what was necessary to banish him. by the way, democrats could never have banished donald trump. this is a republican issue. republicans had a chance with the trial to banish him. mitch mcconnell decided not to. instead, they seem to want to go the route they didn't want to go with richard nixon, which was to use the courts to seek some kind of criminal sanction against him. so it appears there is a taste on the republicans' side for to be consequences. we will see whether the rubber hits the road, whether mitch

( laughs ) do i have it? no! >> i'm in that book! ( laughter ) >> stephen: okay. let's see. what do you think happens when we die? >> oh... i think we see everyone we love, and we then go back and influence the lives of everyone we've left behind. >> stephen: i like that. favorite action movie? >> there you've stumped me. >> stephen: the correct answer is "the river wild."

guest: 1971, richard nixon had been in office for two years.e ran in 1968 against a democrat on a platform that had two parts. one was to restore law & order because there had been riots and uprisings in the cities, antiwar demonstrations. that was one part, at least. the other part of his campaign was to end the war. there is to end the war and the disorder is causing in the country. he had an extremely narrow victory over humphrey, the margin, if you go by popular vote, the margin of victory that nixon had was less than what the 2016 election was. if you're trying to gauge the division in the country from the bed is a good measure. nixon, instead of ending the war, he extended it, geographically. in 1970, he had centuries over the border in vietnam into cambodia, and that had engendered a huge national stigma against the war, which ended with this tragic shooting at the university campus in ohio. where a national guardsmen killed four students. in 1971, in the spring of 1971, nixon decided to expand the war into laos, and that sparked another

richard nixon would have been convicted in a senate trial. the reason that however that he would have been convicted is what caused courageous leadership by the republicans, sen senator barry goldwater at the time, they would turn against nixon unless he resigns. if they did not resign, they would make sure he's convicted. that's not what mechcconnell di. they gave donald trump, his constitutional attitudes and demagogue -- enabling a violent, ugly and not just a small strain in our culture today to have a leash on life they do not deserve. they are the republican party as we go forward. they are in mcconnell's republican party. and that's where we are left with today, instead of the opportunity for a truly conservative principle. republican party of a new kind of opposition of the democrats but without the horror and neo fascism. >> understandably president trump and -- president biden and vice president harris, the leadership that we'll get will come from local republicans and faith communities that'll reject this is seditious view of our g

i would say a better precedent would be richard nixon. in 2010 was a federal judge who was impeached but he resigned. then the trial was dismissed. that is far more recent and i would say it more compelling. host: same question to you, elizabeth wydra. guest: i think the example you mentioned is illustrative because it shows the dangers if you don't allow a senate trial of someone who is no longer in office. he raised his hand to try to avoid the impeachment remedy within the constitution. we don't want to incentivize our leaders to abuse the public trust and try to avoid the constitutional remedy of impeachment by handing in their resignation before an impeachment vote. the impeachment here was passed by the house under their authority while trump was still in office. when we are talking about what the constitution required, we look to the constitution itself. as i thought chuck cooper argued very well, essentially a mandatory minimum using the language of criminal law or impeachment which is a mandatory minimum in the constitution is re

and i'll be an impeachment can be exempt from all their american still it's there that's what richard nixon here for example and i think part of this is if you're going to say the rhetoric used by trump is somehow different from that that was used by nancy pelosi where she called the sender's of the federal courthouse in portland stormtroopers different from met seen waters who sits on the members of trump can and disrupt them get in their face are different from the language from chuck schumer who under steps of the supreme court said you hear me cavanagh you hear me yourself the we're all within this coming for you i'm an absolute threat to the extent that the supreme justice roberts had to say comment on it publicly i think if americans see that does that make it better though janet does that make it ok i mean if the accusation is really other side is using inflammatory rhetoric that the legitimize is the institutions of democracy is it a good recipe for both sides to do that. yes absolutely both sides have to do that and that is where i was going with this whole thing if you can see the

here is richard nixon, the first of two times he was a grand marshal.his was when he was a senator. we are going to see gerald ford and, somewhere buried in here, is a guy named ronald reagan when he was governor of the state of california. if we look up above, we don't always have living grand marshals. kermit the frog, mickey mouse, we had sully sullenberger who landed the plane and saved 128 people in the hudson river several years ago. and that brings us to the time when we should go out and take a look at the queen and court room talk about the rose queens. let's take a look at the portrait on the wall of the rose queen. the 101st for the 130th parade. this is queen louise. this is basically the way we refer to the queen. just "queen" and the first name. that is the same with the princesses. the crown on her head is worth $180,000. it is a bazillion mickey mouse pearls. it is given by mickey moto each year and it stays with mickey moto. here is an example of the older crowns. the one i like the most is the one down here, second row. it is the 1939

richard nixon fell from power.hat there have been moments where various institutions and various people have finally said that's enough, is i think the way to go. >> i agree. and there are people like jared ford there to pick up the phone, and both of us are optimistic people. i think they are definitely out, there is no question about it. >> absolutely. so we will read books and we will look at photographs. >> you should try the andrew jackson biography, for which he won a pulitzer prize. >> absolutely. >> we have learned so much tonight, david, john. thank you.

from now and you mentioned barry goldwater you remember the role that republicans played and richard nixon's resignation compare that to the g.o.p. that we have sitting in the u.s. senate today. well it's completely different i mean part of the problem here is that not everybody gets their news from the same source like we did back in 1994 when everybody was around the television set when walter cronkite gave us our news now you've got fox news you've got other right wing media that basically are spewing out facts or just faults world of alternate facts and so you've got a huge part of our population that is believing in these alternate facts mainly that donald trump really won the election and that there was widespread like ssion fraud even those 60 u.s. courts including judges that reported by donald trump found that there was no evidence lection fraud so then is a big difference between back then and now which makes it a lot more difficult working off the same set of facts yet well said definitely agree with that nick ackerman former prosecutor in the watergate hearings mr ackerman it's g

>> we started to talk about it more this election and richard nixon and it was close in the popular vote and electoral college vote. it turns out the state of hawaii and the votes that have been in november but also by the time that the electors were passing the ballot in december, hawaii hadn't finished all of its counting or recounting processes and richard nixon was ahead they were appointed this was going on with some recounting they wouldn't have an official sanction at that point. they ultimately send a letter as these. we were wrong. these electors, the real ones of the jfk and they voted already so immediately we are going to certify that that was above the slate. that is a very complex set of facts but the one point is we get into congress and congress sometimes has to wrestle with what is in front of it. here they have a stay of electors and they have this other with a letter from the governor saying no, no, it's this group and ultimately nixon was sitting in the chair when this was going on and he said look i don't have a dispute with the fact that they didn't make a differenc

he served as the founding director of the richard nixon presidential library museum and i would guess he is considered the top expert on president nixon. he received his ma with distinction from johns hopkins school of studies and a -- you are recognized for five minutes. >> i wish to thank the chair, the ranking member and numbers -- members of the house judiciary for the privilege of testifying before you today. concerns about the breadth of the presidents come and see power and the desire to in some clemency power power and the desire to in some way reform it are not new to this moment in our history. it is not solely a product of these deeply partisan times. it is not an unprecedented knee-jerk reaction to the conduct of our 45th president. according to fordham university law schools constitutional clinic on 41 separate occasions , since 1974, members of congress from both parties have introduced legislative proposals designed in one way or the other to modify the president's use of executive clemency. over half of these initiatives were introduced before the year 2001. in deed, 2

. >> although eleanor had feelings about jack kennedy, she hated richard nixon. one of my favorite letters was the one she wrote to jfk the day after the first televised debate between nixon and jfk. and it is classic eleanor roosevelt and it is passive aggressive compliment-criticism. one of the tone is "i was watching the debate last night with some friends and although i thought you did very well i thought i would share some of their comments with you. and she, an interesting side note here, one of the people was lloyd benson. you may remember many years later in a famous reference in a vice presidential debate, i knew john kennedy. that lloyd benson. but he came across as too confident. and that he needed to include the audience more in his answers. i think you might agree with me if -- dot dot dot. it is classic, but to eleanor's credit she campaigned for him vigorously and she did what he is felt needed to be done for the democrats to win. she had repeated run ins with eisenhower. she hoped to resurrect some ideals. but then you get into once kennedy gets el

kennedy and richard nixon. it turns out the state of hawaii at this time, when the votes were cast in november but also by the time that the electors were casting their ballots in december, hawaii and finished all of its election counting or recounting processes. richard nixon was ahead of the initial count. in electors appointed that were in appendix and electors . in hawaii. and they voted that day as you would. there was some dispute because this election was perhaps going on at the recounting. in the democratic electors and also decided to meet that day and cast the votes. they didn't have any official sanctions at that point and so now we've got two groups of electors. one yes and the other one notch . we have more counting. turns out the john f. kennedy wins hawaii. and so now the state governor ultimately sends a letter that says that these electors, the real ones of the jfk ones. and they voted already. so going to certify the flight . that's a very complex set of facts. a bit at one point is that we ge

the need for corrective action is founded on what i learned about our nation's 37th president, richard nixon, from publicly available materials at the nixon library when i was director. in my prepared statement and our questions perhaps, i will detail or discuss the cynicism and the lawlessness that attached to president nixon's approach to the power. the dangling of pardons not only became part of article one that was passed by your committee in a bipartisan matter in 1974, but no doubt led to perjury. therefore, even regardless of our 46th president, the nixon precedent alone is an argument for not allowing this power to be unrestrained, particularly in a partisan age where the tool of impeachment, i would argue is no longer as much of a deterrent on bad pardons as our founders, founder who lived in a pre-partisan age assumed it would be. thank you for your time, i appreciate your questions. >> thank you, professor, appreciate you being with us and your life's work. we'll start with questioning now and i'll take the first round of questions and we'll have the five minute rule and i'll reco

he was one of seven republicans on the house judiciary committee who voted to impeach president richard nixonigned, of course, before the white house could vote -- or the whole house, i should say, could vote. so thank you so much for coming on. you decided that impeaching president nixon would be the right move. despite the fact that he was the face of your party. what is your message to the 43 republican senators who didn't vote to impeach trump? >> i think you need to be loyal to your oath and that is to protect and defend the constitution not any one person certainly not any one president. with richard nixon in retrospect was almost a petty thief in comparison to donald trump who i think is guilty of grand larceny at the minimum. but i want to say that the republican party likes to portray that it's a party of law and order. it is anything but because former president trump bent or broke virtually every law on the books or changed the rules to accommodate his own desires. i just want to take a second to praise jamie raskin in particular along with all of the house managers. they made a ca

the second -- the second is 1961 when actually richard nixon was in the chair.the election. and there was the debate about hawaii. and hawaii was the fwirs time they voted in a presidential election. and there were two different slates present and certified. and richard nixon actually went ahead and accepted the votes that gave kennedy the victory of that state. and he twice offered to congress to say are there any objections? and as there were none he then did that. but, again, those examples in no way constitute what i think some advised the president. >> gotcha. >> that vice-president pence could be doing basically disloulg votes coming from certain sfats in the 2020 election. >> and it sounded like earlier you said the president did bare some responsibility for the riots, even though he was. >> no, i did not say -- no, i said he got bad advice. i did not say he bears responsibility for the riots. i think that the president's language was encouraging people to march to the capitol. and i think there was a lot of frustration for a lot of people including us wh

i would say better president would be richard nixon -- precedent would be richard nixon.2010 was a federal judge who was impeached but he resigned. then the trial was dismissed. host: same question to you, elizabeth wydra. guest: i think the example you mentioned is illustrative because it shows the dangers if you don't allow a senate trial of someone who is no longer in office. belmont raised his hand to try to avoid the impeachment remedy within the constitution. we don't want to incentivize our leaders to abuse the public trust and try to avoid the constitutional remedy of impeachment by handing in their resignation before an impeachment vote. the impeachment here was passed by the house under their authority while trump was still in office. we are talking about what the constitution required, we look to the constitution it's self -- itself. -- a mandatory minimum using the language of criminal law or impeachment which is a mandatory minimum in the constitution is removal from off this -- from office. there is a second penalty if someone is convicted under articles of

country before his party and career by being the first republican to vote for the impeachment of richard nixon. >> he was a maryland congressman? >> president nixon decided to resign after his speech. i think most americans -- we have differences. but i think there is far more that unites us than divides us. people want elected leaders to focus on issues that impact their daily lives and delivering real solutions. delivering real solutions and they want an end to this angry divisive politics. i believe we will need some people to step up and be willing to tell it like it is and to try to move on. we can't stay where we are as a nation. >> thank you for this conversation and leadership. there must be a time when this winter for contra to reach this conversation and we wish you the best of luck with the challenges ahead and i hope that there's a friend and come see us was the pandemics over. come back and see george washington hear of this old town chamber hereto. announcer: we take you live to capitol hill to hear from president biden's nominee for agriculture sec., tom vilsack. he was agricult

son of a member of congress who voted as a republican on all those impeachment articles against richard nixon. i'm just curious. what did we -- what did the senate do yesterday in terms of donald trump in your view? >> well, you know, there's what the vote was and what the result of the senate -- the republicans in the senate did yesterday. but then there's the court of public opinion. and, quite frankly, i think, you know, the democrats made it a strong case. even though leader mcconnell didn't vote to impeach, his words were pretty strong, and, you know, i think time will tell how that impacts donald trump and how it impacts the republican party and the country. i think it's going to go far beyond just that vote yesterday in the senate. there's going to be potentially courts of law and the court of public opinion. we're going to decide how history remembers this day and what people did and said. >> would you have voted to convict if you were a united states senator? >> you know, i think the argument was pretty convincing. you know, i wasn't -- i'm not in the senate, but i think i probably w

he cast the first vote against richard nixon in favor of being impeached. >> as much as it pains me toay it, he should be impeached and removed from office. david: was it difficult for him to do? gov. hogan: it was. i learned a lot about integrity and public service from my dad and there was that one particular moment i was most proud of him for. it was a difficult decision. he was the first republican on the house judiciary committee to come out for nixon's impeachment, to say it publicly. he was the only republican in congress to vote for all three articles of impeachment. it was a difficult thing with a lot of people very angry, but i think history remembers him well. my dad was running for governor of maryland in 1974. he lost to race due to that vote. republicans were really angry. when i was sworn in, when i was elected in 2014, my dad was there. i was proud he was still around to see it. i said "it may have taken us 40 years but we will finally have a larry hogan in the governor's mansion." david: when you were a teenager your parents divorced and he -- you went to live with you

look at all the things richard nixon did. the congress at that time, which was controlled by democrats, knew full well that this was not the proper constitutional course. so i regret it. i think it's a very dangerous precedent. if we do have eternal impeachment then president obama, get ready. secretary of state clinton, get ready. by the way, that is not a threat, it's an observation in terms of the logic of the position that's being taken by the house. >> dana: what about the democrats' argument that by not going through with this trial, if someone -- if a president is impeached while they are still president, that they -- that that would give future presidents free rein to do whatever they want until january 20th of noon until the next inauguration. >> i think it's a very strained and silly hypothetical. very effective retoreically. but what have we experienced in our over two centuries as a constitutional republic of this kind of nightmare scenario? the so-called january exception. the framers built in a device to hold th
