we'll work it in as we work our way through the history of the johnson administration. the call is nan in montana. hi, nan. caller: hello. >> do you have a question. caller: my question is, the impeachment of johnson and its associated effect in history. and in the impeachment of our recent president clinton, why is there such a different effect on how he's looked upon by history. >> impeachment, such an important part of the johnson administration. let's move into that. johnson's fight with the radical republicans in congress. i'm going to have both of you talk about that. but first of all, his big decision was to keep lincoln's cabinet. now, he was of a different party than most of them. so was he in constant turmoil with them? or do they accept him as president? >> some of them did. probably the main ones who didn't disagreed with a lot of one sores said that he wouldn't quit and johnson wouldn't fire him. later on, the decision to suspend him came in particular with one that information had been withheld from him in the clemency. and two, information was withheld fro

-- the johnson administration said you can do trevors and nothing else. johnson said, show me. he ignored congress, signed an agreement that actually rewrote some u.s. antidumping laws, and congress basically exercised their prog at the and -- prerogative and said, we're not going approve that part of the agreement. so john john was mortified, declared the tariff cut and there was no trade authority after that. congress had had it in comes richard nixon. the next mechanism. so, nixon saw that crisis that had been caused by johnson as an argument for why he ought to come back with an even bigger grab of power. what he basically said is no countries would negotiate on the next round, unless the u.s. had some incredible congressional handcuff mechanism in play. now, that got a little complicated because then the next round started and everyone came to the table. so, nixon got also grandiose -- shocking -- and came up with an idea he said would speed up the negotiations, and he should be able to negotiate, sign agreements, before congress votes and row claim

the andrew johnson administration in 1867. the cincinnati red stockings. as long as we have had professional sports there have been politicians trying to exploit professional sports for their own means and their own gain. when athletes themselves have attempted to use professional sports on issues they care about, when fans of attempted to do that, that is when the hammer really does come down and that is why i wrote this book "game over" because i feel like since 2008 there has been a revolutionary change in the world of sports, revolutionary change in terms of the way politics have shaped this for so many of us care about. but you would never know that by reading the traditional sports media. if anything you read the sports media it reminds me of the 0 reporters on the raise beef for the new york times in the 1950s and they would cover the civil-rights movement in montgomery, alabama and come back with the most in said the juvenile will relevance stories about what they were seeing like stories about the quality of martin luther king's suits and say how

the andrew johnson administration. [laughter] 1867. the cincinnati red stockings. i mean, that -- basically, as long as we've had professional sports, there have been politicians trying to exploit professional sports for their own means and their own gains. and yet when athletes themselves have attempted to use professional sports to speak about issues they care about, when fans have attempted to do that, well, that's when the hammer really does come down. and that's why i wrote this book, "game over," because i feel like since 2008 there has been a revolutionary change in the world of sports. revolutionary changes in terms of the way politics have shaped the sports that so many of us care about. yet you would never know that by reading the traditional sports media. i mean, if anything, you read the sports media, it reminds me of the old reporters who used to be on what was called the race beat for like "the new york times" in the 1950s, and they would go down and cover the civil rights movement in montgomery, alabama, and come back with the most insipid, juvenile,

think there's a lot of literature now from the kennedy and johnson administrations which establishes that. but for the moment we have to be fair to president obama, and make clear that we don't see evidence just yet of any kind of impeachable offenses. president nixon was not impeached. but resigned. >> neil: i didn't want to put you on the spot but it's always fun. now look at this. >> the american people have not been told the truth, and what we need to know is what did the white house know, and when did they know it? >> neil: all right. to minnesota republican congressman, michelle bachmann, demanding a lot more answers from the white house, and you're saying you're not getting any. >> we're just in the initial phases, and i think the best thing the president could do for himself is to direct everybody within his administration, beginning within the white house to fully cooperate with the congressional committee. go ahead, volunteer tear release i'ms, text messages, phone calls, be forthright about conversations, because there's this freaky incident that decision after decision af

first of all, the credibility gap to civil conflict not of the nixon administration, but the johnson administration. we have a man named robert mcnamara to thank for that. you had this white house briefings -- pentagon briefing and people like other fine journalists on the ground and that is not going that way. i'm not saying the public was naÏve, but the public was a certain level of honesty. both kennedys and martin luther king was shot people about the nature of our political system. it's vietnam and watergate. look, president nixon's in 1973 makes the statement where he denies lots of things. a year later, evidence comes out, some of which he provides to the court, which contradicts almost completely what he wrote in 1973. so it didn't even take a year. as a citizen come you had to wonder. a slight two about vietnam by johnson and mcnamara and now i've lied to about about our electoral process in our government's commitment to privacy that president nixon. but the democrats and republicans have lie to me. i was at an event a year and half ago with carl bernstein and satellite link. bernstein wa

certainly the johnson administration did not want to get bogged down in vietnam. to invaded not want panama. but it did not want to do bosnia. bush 43 did not want to fight terrorists. some future ministration may well find itself having to do just what it is not want to do. when they find themselves in this position, enter into the military for options, time will not be on their side. in potency account much less. the study we are talking about today is very clear. the varieties of confrontations theconflicts that seem future cannot be resolved by distraction alone. -- by distraction alone. destruction alone. the real threat that we face is ourselves in our ability to deny what we need, and choose instead what we prefer. thank you. >> mr. hoffman. >> thank you for letting me be a part of the story. this is an all too rare example of a useful think tank product. think it provides intellectual scaffolding that will ultimately appreciate, even if they may not recognize it. the art of strategy is all about thinking about possible futures to inform decisions you .ake

certainly the johnson administration didn't want to get bogged down in the non. the bush 41 administration didn't want to invade panama. the clinton administration didn't want to do bosnia. the bush 43 administration didn't want to fight terrorists and nation building. and some future administration may well find itself having to do just what it does not want to do. and when they find themselves in this position and turned to the military for options, decision space will not be on the side. forces in being provided to previous administration put options, forces count much less. so the csis study we're talking about today as was others is very clear. the varieties of confrontations and conflict that have seen parts of our collective strategic future cannot be resolved by destruction alone. or solely by light, lethal, fast and remote military action, or by small special forces operations. the real threat, my view anyway, real threat that we face is ourselves and our ability to deny what we need and choose instead what we prefer. thank you. >> thank you for letting m

certainly the johnson administration did not want to get bogged down, the bush 43, didn't want to fight terrorists and nation building. some future administration may well find itself having to do what it does not want to do. when they find themselves in the position and turn to military for options time and decision space will not be on their side. orces count much less. so the c.s.i. study that we're talking a today is clear. the varieties of confrontations and conflicts that have seen part of our strategic future cannot be resolved by our destruction alone. the real threat, my view anyway, the real threat is ourselves and the ability to deny what we need and choose what we prefer. >> again you can see the entire event at our website on c-span.org. coming up in 45 minutes president obama is set to make a couple of perm nell announcements at the white house. mel watt o nominate and tom wheeler. we'll have the announcements ere on c-span scheduled for 2: 15. a tour for the bush library and leading the tour is former first lady laura bush. you can watch the tour of the new george w. bush

administration. he managed to retrieve some of to the presidency that had been lost in the johnson and the grant administrationspoi appointed his own cabinet. e made controversial appointments without congress' blessing. he brought the country -- when they did the travelling across the country, include the south and the west and new england. t the time, he felt that the nomination with james garfield and garfield's election was a been hat he could have elected had he chosen to run for a second term in office. he felt that the corner had been republican party swinging back. >> they travelled thousands of almost always together. they were the first to go to the west coast during the term in office. >> was there something for the trouble. was. s, there >> two other things about the hayes administration that interested in e especially those who follow the machinations of the senate. of the things that hayes was really very successful was limiting the number of riders that could be attached change the on to intent of legislation. and the second thing that he did really began in an incremental way to put in a system

unfortunately reality is forcing itself with coble responsibilities and interests and surely the johnson administrationdid not want to get bogged down in vietnam and bush did not want to invade panama and clinton did not want to do panama and bush did not wish to fight terrorist and nation-building and some pitcher administration may find themselves having to do just what it does not want to do. and when they find themselves in this position and turned to the military for options they will not be on their side the forces provided in previous administrations with options but now accounts much less so the ncis study we talk about today is very clear some varieties of confrontations and conflicts that same part of the collective strategic future cannot be resolved by destruction alone or by remote military action or by special forces operations. the real threat in my view view, is that the ability to deny a what we need instead of what we prefer. >> but said the hitter is a place where a class or a group can come together to study the decisions that george made on the surge on iraq, hurricane katrina come

you know, this is -- look, a lot of administrations have these problems, these scandals. i've seen presidents from nixon and johnsonon and ford, the bushes, this happens with every administration and you can't expect the president, alex, to know everything, every step the bureaucracy does. there has to be accountability, though. here, i think what was happening, the white house staff, the council wanted to protect the president from allegations that maybe he was trying to politically influence the investigation. that's what i saw and i think this white house council made the right legal call. >> all right. former governor and secretary richardson, thanks for your time. >>> it's urban renewal by bulldozer. is that any way to rebuild the city? anything's possible, ryobi has over 50 productsols. that work off of one 18 volt battery. and with new improved lithium and lithium plus batteries, you'll get a while lot more done in less time. plus, they'll improve the performance of every 18 volt tool we've ever made. now that's getting more power for your money. ryobi one plus. the one system that delivers more. available o

november 2012 the top lawyer at the pentagon, jay johnson goes to england to give a speech when he makes the case that everything administration has been doing is legal under the laws of war but he says this war cannot last forever. it has to end. and now today, last in a long series we get the cull minute nation, the president saying yeah, the war has to end. war cannot be forever or it's not war anymore. it's something else. >> our commitment to constitutional principles has weathered every war and every war has come to an end. we must define the nature and scope of this struggle, or else it will define us. we have to be mindful of jay madison's warning that no nation could preserve it's freedom in the continual war not as a bound less global war on terror but rather as a series of persistent targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks that threaten american. a propet l war through drones or special forces or troop deployments will prove did he feel defeating and alter our country in troubling ways. our system mat tick effort to dismantle terror organizations must continue but this war like all wars must end. that's what

jay johnson joins us, a former general counsel to the department of defense for the obama administration. and has been speaking out this subject. jay, good to see you. you were closely involved, the best witness to the policy on the drone, the targeted drone strikes first of all. how big a step is this to move more from the c.i.a. back to the pentagon, there's no real guarantee that there's going to be more transparency. and that we will, we in the general public, will really know whether or not some of these basic targeted killings are still taking place. >> well, andrea, i think that there are three very significant things as a result of today's speech. and the attorney general's letter yesterday, that going to come out of this. one is we see the continuing efforts at transparency, that the president is determined to see come about. we declassified our activities and the military's activities in yemen and somalia last year. i and the attorney general, harold coe, john brennan and others have given speeches on the legal foundations for our efforts. but yesterday when the u.s. government
