elaine, you have written about the history of impeachment what do we need to know about the andrew johnson, richard nixon and bill clinton impeachments and how they might inform the current effort. elaine: let's start with andrew johnson, the first impeachment. the interesting thing about that was how momentous the issues were. in 1868. because the union had just won the civil war. and yet there was the question, what do you do at the southern states. we had abolished slavery but we had not guaranteed the rights of full citizenship rights of african-americans. so the issues when you go back and read much of this, which i have been doing lately, the issues are momentous. andrew johnson all was a kind of accidental president, because he became president when lincoln was assassinated or he had been a democrat but he had been a prounion democrat. which means that lincoln thought ok, and you can see this was part of lincoln's reconstruction idea, let's put a bipartisan ticket. however the republican party never liked him very much. and it was what the republican party that impeached a republican preside

only four americans faced the prospect of an impeachment inquiry, andrew johnston, richard nixon andnd doesn't want to be associated with it. >> he is very much concern it is staying on his legacy. i was talking to a white house official the president wants this over with as quickly as possible. there is talk maybe the senators want to drag it out. the president wants this over with. this is not good for him. he is concerned about it. he brings it up at about every meeting with the white house and almost every topic the president will bring it up. this idea he would follow this advice from bill clinton is unlikely. >> he wants it over with and wants to be in the clear. i do think part of that gaggle on twitter and his white house lawn, that's in part what his core supporters like. they like to sticking it to we in the media and the democrats. it's a performance in some ways. >> november 14th, i love david. the president may hate this now but in 10 months they tried to take me down with russia and this impeachment thing, i won and re-elect me and i will keep working for you. >> he has

impeachment trials one with which was for bill clinton he was acquitted as was president andrew johnson while richard nixon resigned in 1974 during the watergate scandal before the house could vote on his impeachment when bruce fein is a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general joins me live now from washington can i stop by getting your thoughts on what was in the resolution itself today how critical is it that there are going to be public carryings in the we succumb and also there will be transcripts transcripts of depositions conducted in private that those will be released to the public as well. well i think it's instrumental to moving the impeachment process forward that the hearings be public in the nixon case the public was not in favor of an pietschmann when the hearings began some 7 months before his resignation in an pietschmann trial because it has so many political overtones namely removing a president elected by the people of the united states it's critical that the people understand and for themselves are able to evaluate the evidence by seeing the witnesses by reading transcripts
