in the case of andrew johnson, they are doing it the year -- an election year. they could have waited a few more months and ultimately that she is not reelected. in the case of nixon, it is nixon who pushes the washington community and many americans over a psychological edge. he does that when he fires someone. he does that when he forces the justice department to fire him and the attorney general says no and the deputy attorney general says no. scholar, barbara, who by the way i interviewed for the next and library, he did not want to do it either. he felt the president had the authority under article two to do it. and he fired archibald coxe. that raised a question of president nexus's legitimacy. not just for partisans. i think that is the key part of the story that interested me because we have a lot of writing about nixon. when jeff asked us to do this book together, the story i wanted to understand, because of the current political moment we live in common is was everyone partisan in 1970? and why was it that republicans voted against richard nixon? story

andrew johnson is lukewarm on this idea especially because is a woman running this office. and so ultimately he does give continue theher to work but punts the request for $15,000 to congress. congress in 1865 is like they don't do19, anything with it. slow. ultimately, barton does get the money, the $15,000, but all of this effort she fronts all of from what she gets from friends, what she gets from family members and from those who want her to do this work. she also travels the country on a speaking tour. andgoes across the country gives a lecture about what it was like to be a woman going to the battlefield. is able to, through speaking fees, through donations, she is able to cobble enough money together to keep this operation going until 1866 she gets a federal appropriation to give her the $15,000 to essentially pay her what she has fronted to get this office going. so it does begin in 1865. by 1867, most of the work -- the pickings have been taken, the families have been informed. really, really hard by the end of 1867 to make any new to inform families of what happen

when andrew johnson was impeached in 1868 he was impeached for speak ill of congress.f you cause harm to society, that's the test. then you can be impeached. >> neil: let me get a sense where you see this going. if you are well shy of the 218 votes and you want to make a statement because you believe the president is a racist or whatever his language and whatever he has done at the border, you are redefining what is an impeachable offense. >> not at all. >> neil: let me ask you, are you concerned, sir, that if democrat is in office and held to the same kind of looser standards, that this impeachment thing will be used under every administration by the opposition party? >> well, if we adhere to what you just said andrew johnson would not have been impeached in article 10 of his articles of impeachment. he was impeached for speaking ill of the house. that was the reason. so mr. cavuto, you don't have to commit a crime to be impeached. most of the constitutional authorities agree with me on this point. misdeeds, high crimes and misdemeanors, ms. deeds are misdemeanors. th

>> you know, i would say that andrew johnson was almost the anti-lincoln and was or was rtainly until recently the unquestioned holder of the title of sort of least stable dividual to hold the presidential office. [laughter] he was -- he was, i think, in my historical diagnosis, he was an alcoholic. one of his biographers defends him against the charge by saying that on sam days, he didn't drink four ounces of whiskey and he was -- you know, visibly sloppy drunk when he took the vice-presidential oath and made a speech which hannibal hamlin, the departing vice president, said i wish the earth would simply swallow me up rather than have to -- and he was like, i don't want to say -- hey, i want to say all power comes from the people and starts pointing at members of the cabinet and saying you, mr. stanton, you mr. seward -- who is that guy? yeah, you mr. what's your name. and he was -- he had been military governor of tennessee which gave him definitely an exaggerated sense of what power the president should have. because he hadn't really had to deal with legislation and so forth. he ha

sadly there occupancy would be revoked under andrew johnson. one of the most important experiences to u.s. army offered to black men beginning and localized areas in 1862 and more broadly and 1863 was a renewed opportunity to become soldiers. technically, black men had been barred from army surface since the 1792 militia act. they found the occasional loophole such as new orleans under andrew jackson in 1812. luckman had been allowed access under porter restrictions to the u.s. navy throughout the antebellum period. with renewed service, it was more than a job. that was certainly welcomed by many recently enslaved men who made up the majority of the ranks and urgently needed food, hay, and work. it also offered access to education. black soldiers taught each other literacy leading to better jobs, less poverty, and longer lifespans. black men understood as did most 19th century americans that military service pave the way to citizenship. access to which it had been explicitly denied. in addition, black men the dollars the potential military serv

andrew johnson was impeached on article 10 of the articles of impeachment against him for speaking ill of congress. there is no requirement that the president commit a crime, that the president commit a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. congress determines what the standard is for impeachment. and unform, we have allowed what happens on the judicial side of the law to be concxds con flated with what happens on the political side of the law. the judiciary or the judicial side would have a crime. this is what mr. mueller was seeing, to see if a crime had been committed, a crime. if a crime is committed, of course the president can be impeached for committing a crime. but the president can also be impeached if he has not committed a crime, but he is doing harm to society. this is the law. when we saw no person is above the law, we are talking about not only the law as it is codified with reference to criminality, but also the law as it has been codified such that impeachment can be the punishment in the sense that the president would be indicted. it's not the same as an indictment, but it'

we've seen other presidents, andrew johnson, richard nixon, they have succeeded in shifting the publicpresident by shifting it away from the president's provocations and towards his abilities, towards his abuses of powers, towards the things he's said and done. that is a big part of the process. it didn't work with clinton because that wasn't the focus of the clinton impeachment, and there weren't hearings. >> david, how about that? >> well, you know, one thing, yoni makes a very good point about the power of hearings. the hour of presenting evidence. but everything that he just discussed, about the ability to hold hearings, the ability to present evidence, the ability to bring these witnesses in front of the public for them to judge credibility in front of all of our eyes, all of that can happen in the absence of an impeachment proceeding. we just saw this with the cohen hearing that was extreme -- a moment where people could take a look at someone saying, the things that they'd heard about and read about, but to see a person actually testify to it has its own power. all of those thin

this,so this, remember andrew johnson was impeached for speaking ill of congress.ndrew johnson, 18 58, president of the united states, impeached for speaking ill of congress. so bigotry and policy is something that hurts many people in this country, and because many of us live in places where we don't encounter those who suffer, that does not mean we should not be concerned about their suffering. it doesn't mean we should ignore what is happened to them. they vote for us and they put us in office. and then we make bigotry a talking point. this is a sad set of circumstances when we conclude that it's not worth it to impeach a bigoted president who is causing harm to society, especially minorities. with religiousse preferences that might be an typical to his view. a muslim band, for whatever reason -- ban, and the supreme court taking that up. before that it was shot down several times. it was carefully crafted and used search -- specific language to make it work. this is a time for us to take a stand. if only a few do it. i would be ok with that. history will judge
