andrew johnson defied congress. richard nixon had the saturday night massacre. bill clinton got a b.j. in the oval office! ( laughter ) head! mouth candy! the old pac-man. >> trevor: pac-man? >> yeah -- ( making sounds ) >> trevor: i got it. >> my point, is trevor, trump has blown it. he might get impeached for gossipping on the phone like a little bitch -- ( cheers and applause ) i mean, like a waste of a wonderful opportunity! it's like when i gave my husband a hall pass and he used it to kiss karen from the p.t.a. karen! you know what i use my hall pass for? i murder (~bleep ) pierce

andrew johnson, it was opposed friedman's bureau. he fought the notion that persons who had been freed liberties the same that others in this country enjoyed, and he was impeached. did it.ans radical republicans did it. have eve that we ought to the same standard today that we if we should, i believe that there will be an impeachment. today -- so i'm today g -- announcing there will be impeachment. one final point. after the vote, whenever it the judiciary committee, i will have some additional special statements to reserving them for after the vote. i thank you for the time. country. democracy hangs in the balance. all mustnd justice for all must prevail, and if it is to prevail, there must be and will be an impeachment. the hands of history are piloting the ship of fate. and still i rise. the speaker pro tempore: to refrain reminded from engaging in personalities president. the chair now recognizes the from north carolina, ms. foxx, for five minutes. s. foxx: thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, no american will what happened t

in 1867 it was a way of trying get the goods on andrew johnson but also a way of putting impeachment to the side. people didn't really want to alienate people. it and was only when johnson actually made a specific act vice-president vie lited and was clear violation, understands. >> it wasn't something like abuse of power which is hard to prove that it voted. the second thing is that they senate, even though republicans have majority, you need two-thirds, it failed in the senate so i think thoser very important lessons but there's a third lesson, too, for those who are hoping for an impeachment and that is, i don't think -- i understand where everybodying coming front -- i don't think politics and principle are necessarily different from one another. i think we think of politics as being something that is -- that borders on the seamy if it's not spirally seamy. people say you're doing that for political reasons. the implication is you don't have high-minded principles. i think in fact certainly in the 19th century in 1868, for many, many of those who wanted to get rid of andrew johnso

their ownherners had answers, as became clear when lincoln was assassinated and andrew johnson became president. in the olded historical interpretation as a heroic defender of the constitution, johnson today has a strong claim to being considered the worst president in american history. he lacked all of lincoln's qualities of greatness. he was deeply racist. he had no sense of public opinion. he did not have the ability to work with congress. johnson set up new governments in the south, once the war was over, controlled entirely by white southerners. they enacted a series of laws called the black codes to define the freedom african-americans now enjoyed and gave blacks virtually no political or civil rights, and you try to use the law to force african-americans back to work on the old plantations. thee laws alarmed republican party, which controlled congress into thinking the south were trying to restore slavery in all but name. in 1866, congress passed over johnson's veto one of the most important laws in american history, the civil rights act of 1966, the rights they are to enjoy an

as i said, andrew johnson vetoed the civil rights boom and became the first important law enacted over the veto of the president. in his veto message, he denounced the law for what is today called reverse discrimination. he said the distinction of race and color is made by the bell to operate in favor of the colored and against the white race. and this idea that expanding the rights of nonwhites somehow punishes or takes away something from the white majority, the ghost of andrew johnson still haunts our discussions of race. of course, a law can always be repealed. quickly, congress put this and other principles into the 14th amendment. the most important change in our constitution says the bill of rights. it is long, complicated, contains major provisions that are arcane today, but the heart of the 14th amendment is the fourth section, which constitutional rights the rights of both citizenships and the immunities of citizens or denying to any person, but citizen or alien, any person in the country, the equal protection of the law. the word equal is not in the original constitution. ma

the radical republicans didn't allow andrew johnson to do it. we need some radical democrats who won't allow president trump to do this. >> now, let me quickly move to another subject that really deals at home here in texas and of course has national implications. i was here this morning on a preaching assignment, and it's widely a concern. there are five republican congressmen from texas who are not running for re-election in 2020. do democrats have a strong group of candidates that can take these seats on? >> well, the answer is an absolute yes. but terry anderson, a pastor at lily grove, and for you to be in that pulpit was a great honor, and i'm sorry i wasn't there, reverend. but yes is the answer to your question. we have strong, solid candidates, but we also have something else going for us. there is perceived to be a blue wave that is headed this way. in harris county in the last election, which was a midterm, we elected a 27-year-old latina as county judge. we elected another latino to the commissioner's court, and the commissioner's co

i went to andrew johnson elementary school, one of only two in america. you might say, can this hillbilly actually understand reconstruction? i think i am in position to say, it is too easy just to say andrew johnson was an idiot. sure. yes, that he was racist. but there is a lot more going on. i had my students say what did they think about reconstruction. they came back with the same answer. what we are teaching our students is that reconstruction was a failure, either on the left are on the right people are saying it is a failure. i thought that was too easy. experiment inious democracy in american history, just calling it a failure doesn't seem accurate. here's what we found. the opponents of freedom, the opponents of reconstruction, fought so long and hard during after the war, the u.s. government, the u.s. army and a populationity of the was empowered, virtually in force to destroy the roots of slavery and put a new constitutional order in place. here's what i mean. without confederate secession, emancipation was constitutionally impossible. without

joining me now, brenda, the trial of andrew johnson and the dream of nation. brenda, thank you for being with us. thank you. >> let's talk about your experience with impeachment and how you look at this and where you think this is going? >> where do i think the president is going? i think we are headed towards impeachment in the house. what the senate does is up for grabs at this point. you need two-thirds of the vote for conviction in the senate and it is not clear that at this point that we would get that. i mean the case of richard nixon it seems that a lot of people would cross. >> a lot of people forgo forgot -- there were a lot of evidence. >> do these things hang on evidence or political than that? >> it is both. as you were talking before about what constitutes an impeachable offense, it is complicated. there are narrow reasons for impeachment offense, for example, bribery or treason. high crimes and misdemeanor is a little bit more complicated because it is not clear where a high crime and misdemeanor would lead. >> it did not spell it out. hamilton s

andrew johnson. >> one vote. >> my game is strong but let's forget andrew johnson. the market bottoms with nixon and in 1998, with clinton, we saw things boom but the internet was booming. >> i think it probably is. you don't know -- once you start down a road like this, can you never be sure where it leads you can't be sure what a house, if they start getting inquiries, there is always a possibility of something coming out that is damaging that will affect the markets >> the markets also predicted the on line betting site saying don't worry, they control the senate we don't know what they would do maybe up trump has made enemies. we have no idea how those individuals may vote do we need to place a greater risk, at least a little bit. if we have a president ultimately removed from office, that's a shock that's a shock a negative risk factor you would see the yields come off and be looking at all sorts of depression talk that type of event would really impact consumers >> that's what i want to be clea

andrew johnson way back in 1868 and bill clinton in 1998. kaye takes a look back at the clinton drama and the political lessons it offered. >> what began as a search for evidence in the paula jones sexual assault case has mushroomed in to another investigation of the president and his personal conduct. >> reporter: personal conduct by president bill clinton with a white house intern. >> the white house has started to receive subpoenas from the independent counsel kenneth star seeking all of the records involving monica lewinsky. >> reporter: during a deposition, clinton was questioned about an extramarital affair with lewinsky. he denied it all a. and reiterated as much days later to reporters. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. lewinsky. >> reporter: hillary clinton suggested it all was some sort of conspiracy. >> this vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. >> reporter: accept months later, clinton admitted that he did have a relationship with louisia

lincoln was assassinated and hi vice president, andrew johnson, moved into the office. yousky expect to the overlaps between johnson and trump? i read marvelous notion that johnson himself talked about being a martyr and compared himself to jesus christ being persecuted. >> seems to work all the time. >> also said he would be the moses for african-american people. >> exactly. and charles sumner said if you -- just don't be there pharaoh, which is seemed to be in that case. the parallels are kind of striking, i frighteningly so in many ways because andrew johnson was accused rightly in my estimation, of abuse of power, of obstruction of justice, of flouting the laws of congress, of just being kind of breaking norms as annette was saying, although at the time there were really norms in the making because as emily said, the war had just ended, and there was a peace to be fought over, and it was actually fought on the streets and in the countryside because so many people, particularly black people, and union loyalists, were being murdered. johnson turned a deaf ear to the cr

hace 150 anos, andrew johnson fue procesado por la camara luego de que este destituyera a su ministroiticas. el senado se quedo a un solo voto para sacarlo del poder.. es decir, no ocurrio. en 1998 bill clinton fue cusado de perjurio y obstruccion de la justicia... la acusacion no tuvo los votos en el senado para avanzar.. en este otro caso, con el ex presdiente nixon, el congreso inicio los preparativos a un impeachment, ppero el presento su dimision por el escandalo del "watergate"... ahora se conoce que la persona que hizo la denuncia de la controversial llamada entre trump y su homologo de ucrania, podria hablar esta misma semana con los legisladores, segun lo anuncio el representante democrata "adam schiff". chiff explico que los abogados del denunciante querian conocer detalles de como su cliente podria testificar ante el comite de inteligencia... la denuncia fue anÓnima pero este funcionario ha dicho que en el caso que tenga que testificar que cuenten con Él >> ante este anuncio sobre la apertura de una investigaciÓn para darle un juicio al presidente trump se reporta que la bÚ

a manager of president andrew johnson sent an impeachment trial compared johnson's cabinet members to glorious and hamlet. anerences -- to pollonius hamlet. references to shakespeare were used in debate. there were over 159 references during congressional debate to shakespeare himself or to the place hamlet, macbeth, othello affiliate. let me add a fan fact about shakespeare in congress. -- shakespeare american scholars was the chairman of the house ways and means committee during the fierce tariff battles of the late 1830's. after leaving congress, he became the editor of the first major american additional shakespeare's plays -- edition of shakespeare's plays. today, shakespeare continues to be invoked occasionally in congress. during the time i have worked in the senate, there has been one person who might give the house and way -- the house ways and means committee chairman robert plank a run for his money readnator robert heard shakespeare's plays throughout his life and he frequently used shakespeare to make a point during senate floor debate. fact, at one point or another durin

after nixon, clinton and andrew johnson. how significant this moment? >> enormous day. speaker of the house nancy pelosi essentially gone to war with donald trump. she has the majority she's counting votes. and they'll take the test to trump. when the founders talk about what's impeachment and high crimes and misdemeanors. high on the list is extortion, betrayal of the national security. bribery. and donald trump is in a deeply difficult position now because he's going to have to cough up a transcript that can't be doctored. you'll have now a whistleblower coming forward. a household name the way butter field and john dean over night became famous during the nixon years. >> hold on. what do you mean it can't be doctored? >> pardon? >> the transcript. >> well, they will be under legal jeopardy if that's doctored. i'm worried about it. i'm worried they will say these are a memory notes and see what it comes out tomorrow. see if anybody has a recording. since 1974, with the nixon tapes. most presidents claim they're not recording things but a recording would be best. the t

he was also pardoned by andrew johnson. he had become very good friends with dr. mudd, ended up coming to live with dr. mudd and died of tuberculosis, however. maryurse, the son of theat, who was in new york night of the assassination, scouting out the prison for the was aerate government, he confederate agent, but he , ultimatelycountry ended up as a pai papal guard in rome. captured in alexandria, virginia, was brought back here acquitted. was he then went on the stage, attempting to lecture on the lincoln assassination. he wasn't very good. he wasn't very successful at it. at 10:15, the presidential party to enter ford's theatre. how did booth get into the box? well, two people were in charge of that. a d.c. policeman by the name of john f. parker was assigned to guard the president but he was only -- his duties were only to the president on his way to the theater and after the theater. not during the play. so some people say he was having a drink. watching theas play. but he was definitely not at a to protect the box. now, the president's valet was the box.uts

andrew johnson was trying to indoor that verdict. nixon in the 19 p 7 po. divided us ads ps ferociously. the cold war, '60s, '70s, is that was part of what was going on. the clinton impeachment that now seems less specific it was about the general life. baby boomers, public angst about the position she seemed to be taking in the crip tan. now we have our populist reaction in 2016, globalization, its challenges, the pressures on the middle class, the pressures on the working class have all found presentation and. so there's a big issue here. you have a president who's come forward and said, yes, i did these things, yes, i can shoot someone. the question is going to be will the line speaker pelosi has drawn, will the majority of americans expect that should be the line? >> you mentioned that during the nixon years there was this huge devry. there was a huge divide over the vietnam war and the man at the time they carled tricky dim p. we're in a different time. you have the man who occupies the oval office. in 2019, john, do you believe even as prescient as th

you brought up andrew johnson. 1868, vintage photos that we had. stocks didn't react. bonds that rallied. the president was acquitted three months later. so we don't have a graph to show you because the data is from so long ago. if we move to richard nixon's impeachment, we saw more market turmoil. that, you can say and argue coincided with the oil shock, inflation was running out of control and then led to a recession. after he was impeach for several months after that, you saw stocks tank, but they climbed higher after 1975. we move on to bill clinton and his team during the impeachment. there was some volatility, a huge drop during the initial investigation but then in 1998, the markets went higher. the economy was doing so well. it was a boom time. so between clinton and nixon, they were in their second term of presidency. so didn't really affect their i guess career as a president going forward. that's the difference with president trump. traders like to overlook political theater. i'll leave it with this. what can add volatility is the lack of bipartisan support

andrew johnson, nixon, clinton, now trump. efore the full house had a chance to vote on articles of impeachment, so only johnson and clinton were actually impeached, neither removed. the argument is this is a massive test for both sides. for the president, the irony that after all the russian interference concern and all the insistence that this president would never go to a foreign power for help in his election, he's now potentially accused of exactly that. but the constitution sets out this power not merely for political payback or pushback against policies. google the johnson impeachment for the true precedent. he was impeached on 11 counts. it was a laundry list of all the things they didn't like about him, a racist, a bully. he went after people. but the senate came up one vote short of removal twice. the message, this can't just be about politics. clinton, also a cautionary tale for both sides. certainly informs why this president was so wary of sitting under oath with mr. mueller, because that's what led to clinton gett

he was also pardoned by andrew johnson and he had become very good friends with dr. mudd, ended up coming to live with dr. mudd, and ultimately died of tuberculosis. , however. of course, john surratt, the son of mary surratt. york,was in elm ira, new the night of the assassination, scouting out the prisons for the confederate government. he was a confederate agent. but he escaped the country, altimately ended up as a pap guard in rome. was captured in alexandria, virginia, was brought back here in 1867, and was acquitted. he went on the stage, lecturing on the lincoln assassination. apparently was not very good, was not very successful at it. so, at 10:15, the presidential party goes into ford's theatre. how did booth get into the box? two people were in charge of that. a d.c. policeman named john .y the name of john f parker was assigned to guard the president on his way to the theater and out of the theater. he was not at the play. some people say he was having a drink. some say he was watching the play. he was definitely not at a post trying to protect the box. n

andrew johnson was impeached in 1868 in article 10 of misdemeanors. john has written a aut this quite eloquently and accurately, i might add. and with the ability to impeach for high misdemeanors, no crime necessary, no requirement that you have rules of evidence. the house can draft its articles of impeachment basedn the president's confessions. the president has a way of not only performing what i would call ugly deeds -- some call dastardly deeds -- performing these deeds and then he confesses. he has indicated that he talked to the president. he has indicated the conversation was about biden. and we know that he was withholding funds. he did this right after mr. mueller's gave his testimony on the hill. he is testing us. he continually tests to see how far we will allow him to go. >> at some point we have to stand up to him and let him know that a line has been drawn and you will go no further. amy: thank you for being with us, he's doing conga's member al green, texas democrat, and john nichols, political writer for the nation. he has written a b

president trump would be following in the footsteps of andrew johnson, richard nixon. joined by professor and author of "to end the presidency the power of impeachment." professor, tell us what's different now about the charge that now lies against the president compared to all that we've discussed for the last two to three years? >> well, actually, what's different not only compared to the last two or three years but compared to the rest of our history including all of the prior impeachments is that this is the first time a president will have been impeached for violating his oath in a way that threatens national security in the sphere of foreign policy and military policy. we are now talking about not just what happened in the past in 2016, we're talking about what's going to happen to the 2020 election. and we have a case where the president of the united states deliberately withheld $400 million worth of desperately needed military aid that had been voted in a bipartisan way by congress from a vulnerable little ally of ours in europe under attack, military attack b

had it only happened once before in the history of the republic in the administration of andrew johnsonagain until october, 199 #, when the republican-led house decided to impeach president bill bill clinton. now the judiciary committee is about to do it again for the fourth time ever. announcing today they're going to vote to set the rules for their own impeachment inquiry into president donald trump. joining us is mary gay scanlon. thank you so much for being here. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> so we have heard the chairman of your committee, chairman nadler, say that the impeachment inquiry is under way. but this is going to be a formal vote. how will this vote change what's happening going forward? >> we spent a great deal of time spinning our wheels trying to get hold of the evidence underlying the mueller report, trying to get hold of the mueller report itself. we've gone to court to do that now, but our investigation has to expand. we're trying to move by the end of the year to determine whether we're going to file articles of impeachment or not. and there are a number o

when andrew johnson was impeached in 1868, that was the first time it had ever happened in u.s.e of tries. they first voted on an impeachment resolution against johnson in 1867. that failed. they came back again the next year and tried to impeach him again in 1868. that one stuck. but when those articles of impeachment got passed in the house, when those articles were conveyed to the senate for president johnson to face trial, they couldn't get a 2/3 vote in the senate to convict him and remove him from office. and so the effort to remove president andrew johnson from office failed even though he was impeached in the house. basically, the same dynamic at workn

andrew johnson was impeached in 1868 for violating the tenure of office act by firing the secretary of war. he was also acquitted. many people wrongly think richard nixon was impeached.in presidency rather than face the house vote on impeachment charges. >>> we are under a micro climate weather alert. heat and wind elevating our fire danger. >> a lot of 90e temperatures, including san rafael. here's a live look from the traffic cameras, and the wind will pick up tonight. >> pg&e is watching this weather very closely. there could be power shut offs for parts of napa, sonoma and lake counties. these are designed to prevent wildfire. >> how long are these wind gusts going to last? >> i think we're good for them to last maybe the next 12 to 16 hours. here's a look at what we've had so far today. mt. diablo getting up to 46 miles per hour. sonoma hills, 33, atlas peek, 22 peak 25. it was isolated to highest elevations. a lot of lower elevations 10 to 15 miles per it's in effect till 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. with these isolated gusts, 20-40, sustained winds, 10-20 and low humidity. what

abraham lincoln's successor, andrew johnson, was impeached by the house in 1868, but not convicted by the senate more than 100 years later, president nixon faced impeachment. >> there was a cancer growing on the presidency. >> what did the president know and when did he know it? >> reporter: with impeachment looming, republican senators went to nixon, telling him he should resign. >> i shall resign the presidency effective oon tomorrow was the impeachment of president clinton in 1998 over monica lewinsky that most recently divided the nation >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman, ms. lewinsky >> reporter: a democratic president threatened with being voted out of offic by a republican congress. >> no one is above the law. >> clinton was impeached by the house but acquitted by the senate republicans paid a political price, losing the midterm elections that year. >> you raise your right hand, mr. president. >> reporter: but two years later, they won the white house. >> what your electe representatives are calledn to do, as difficult as it is to think not about the next elect

only two presidents have ever been impeached by the house, andrew johnson and bill clinton. richard nixon, you'll remember, resigned from office before the house could impeach him. also this week, merriam-webster highlighted two other words on twitter after the release of president trump's call with those words, transcript and memorandum. look 'em up. that's it for this edition of "matter of fact." we'll see you next week. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] robert handa: hello, and welcome to "asian pacific america." i'm robert handa, your host for our show here on nbc bay area and cozi tv. it is the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, certainly one of the most significant achievements that shaped america. and hopefully, finally the chinese workers who help make it happen are being recognized.ie chinese-americans contributions are overlooked. we will discuss the history of chinese fisherman in monterey and why they deserve more recognition.

presidents who have been impeached andrew johnson and bill clinton and neither of them were removed from office they survived the impeachment process and continued with their presidency now richard nixon was facing the threat of impeachment and he stepped down so so far no president in u.s. history has yet ever been removed through the impeachment process and at this point many suspect that if the house were to move ahead with impeachment proceedings against trump the senate which is controlled by republicans could vote not to even convene the impeachment trial now donald trump is saying that the potential for impeachment proceedings to begin would actually help him in the long term this is president donald trump book which is to continue where you know which of the words we're just going to lose because she does. we're also going to the positive. how could you do that if you haven't even to give them. now democrats are coming out in response to this transcript and saying that it does indeed show that trump behaved in inappropriate behavior essential trying to get information on joe bide

i wasn't around for andrew johnson, so i can't speak to that one. i thought she did a very nice job and she took what has been going for low profile for many months and she's made it a high-profile undertaking. >> as i played a brief clip i want to highlight for people the importance of this moment and in part, it's not just the moment itself. it's nancy pelosi being the one who made it. she didn't want to do it. she walked out of a press conference when it was asked whether impeachment was on the table. it was just a few of the times over the past five months that she has completely dismissed impeachment. >> the house democratic caucus is not on a path to impeachment and that's where he wants us to be. >> i don't think there's anything more divisive we can do than to impeach the president of the united states. >> are you uncomfortable with the term impeachment? >> thank you all very much. >> why is it you're hung up on a word over here when lives are at stake over there? thank you all very much. >> madam speaker? >> okay, david. it's a 180. she has

when andrew johnson was impeached in 1868, that was the first time it had ever happened in u.s. history. it actually took them a couple of tries. they first voted on an impeachment resolution against johnson in 1867. that failed. they came back again the next year and tried to impeach him again in 1868. that one stuck. but when those articles of impeachment got passed in the house, when those articles were conveyed to the senate for president johnson to face trial, they couldn't get a 2/3 vote in the senate to convict him and remove him from office. and so the effort to remove president andrew johnson from office failed even though he was impeached in the house. basically, the same dynamic at work in 1998. just before christmas 1998 when the house of representatives voted for on the second time in u.s. history to impeach the sitting u.s. president who then was bill clinton. and again in that instance the house voted to impeach the president but then they had to convey the articles of impeachment over to the senate and, once again, they could not persuade 2/3 of the senate to vot

office now in us history only 2 presidents have been impeached bill clinton was impeached as was andrew johnson and both of those u.s. presidents remained in office they were not removed from office the impeachment trial happened and the senate voted to keep them in office now richard nixon was facing an impeachment inquiry leading to an impeachment trial he resigned ahead of time so we have not had any president in u.s. history ever removed through the impeachment route not all democrats are immediately jumping on to the idea of impeachment gabbert has spoken up and said she doesn't support the idea of impeaching trump she says it would hurt the democratic party in the country in the long term and divide the country so tell us again and she she has spoken out but many democrats seem to be excited about the potential of beginning an impeachment proceeding against donald trump it's important to note however that at this point the senate is controlled by republicans and it's very likely that if impeachment proceedings began mitch mcconnell who is the senate majority. leader he could simply have t

andrew johnson and bill clinton both impeached by the house. they survived trial in the senate. in 1974 richard nixon resigned in the face of almost certain impeachment and conviction in the senate. president trump's fate impossible to predict with any certainty right now. the charges are fresh. the investigation just beginning. america's politics as tribal as they've ever been. we do know this, it began with a seven-page single-spaced letter addressed to congress by an anonymous whistle-blower in the intelligence community. the charge summarized in a single paragraph. quote, in the course of my official duties i received information from multiple officials that the president of the united states is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 u.s. election. this interference includes pressuring a foreign country to investigate one of the president's political rivals. the president's personal lawyer rudy giuliani is an essential figure in this effort and attorney general barr seems to be involved as all. mayor giuliani will join us liv

history only 2 presidents have been impeached bill clinton was impeached as was andrew johnson and both of those u.s. presidents remained in office they were not removed from office the impeachment trial happened and the senate voted to keep them in office now richard nixon was facing an impeachment inquiry leading to an impeachment trial he resigned ahead of time so we have not had any president in u.s. history ever removed through the impeachment route now donald trump argues that if the democrats continue to pursue this they will actually work to his benefit this is donald trump. they do it so i'll just come from our name but that. is. the fact is that the president of the united states. in pre-check his constitutional responsibility has asked a foreign government to help him in his political campaign president trump or abuse the powers of his office and be trade the public trust. for personal political gain like any mafia boss the president didn't need to say that's a nice country you have it be a shame if something happened to it because that was clear from the conversation there i

president andrew johnson and belinelli. both were acquitted. >> and at last count, 204 democratic representatives support the impeachment inquiry. all ten bay area congressmen and women have indicated their support for the inquiry. we have a lot more on our website, abc7news.com, including a full look at the impeachment process. >> in the south bay, two people have died of complications from the flu in santa clara county. officials say one victim was an adult with other medical conditions that put that person at increased risk. the other a healthy child who most likely contracted the virus while traveling overseas. it's not yet known if either received a flu shot. >> new developments and efforts to stop teenagers from vaping, today the santa clara county board of supervisors approved banning the sale of e-cigarettes in unincorporated areas of the county to people under the age of 21. the next vote on the ban is set eaiethisye, s francisco and richmond outlawed the sale of all e-cigarette products. >> i'm amanda dell castill

presidents who've undergone impeachment proceedings before we had bill clinton and andrew johnson both undergo impeachment trials now both of them survived the senate in both cases voted to keep them in office now richard nixon was facing an impeachment inquiry and was leading to an impeachment and then he stepped down from office so at the moment no u.s. president in u.s. history has ever been. down with impeachment proceedings it's never happened no matter what so ever and if you take a look at the democrats they went down to see the president of ukraine and they asked him for all sorts of things it's the single greatest witch hunt in american history probably in history but it american history there was no pressure the way you had that built up that call it was going to be the call from hell that turned out to be a nothing call however not all democrats are in unison on this we've heard from tulsa gabbert the congresswoman from hawaii she opposes an impeachment proceeding as she as a democrat says this would hurt the democratic party and hurt the country overall so what happens next

history we've had 2 presidents that have gone through an impeachment proceeding andrew johnson and bill clinton both of them survived the process and were not removed from office the senate did not review a vote to remove them we had another president richard nixon and impeachment proceedings were beginning and he resigned but no president has actually been removed during the impeachment process in u.s. history as of yet now currently the senate is controlled by republicans so if the house brings impeachment against the senate it's very likely they could simply vote not to even have a trial mitch mcconnell the republican leader doesn't really support the move for impeaching trump now trump says if the u.s. house of representatives. goes ahead and begins impeachment proceedings against him it could actually help him in the upcoming election this is donald trump reacting to the move. was or whatever and if you take a look at the democrats they went down to see the president of ukraine and they asked him for all sorts of things it's the single greatest witchhunt in american history probabl
