The Impeachment of a President - ANDREW JOHNSON 1868

I guess its true that History repeats itself, Andrew Johnson the 17th president of the United States was the first president to be impeached in 1868. There were two more to follow President Nixon (resigned before official hearings) and of course there was President Clinton. Andrew Johnson was President Lincolns Vice President and became President when he was assassinated on April 14th 1865. He was a member of Democratic Party and President Lincoln was a member of the  Republican Party .

Its really interesting reading and very similar to what is happening now with President Trump! President Trump is in many ways similar to President Johnson in his beliefs in the Constitution and how the government should be run.

Geni and I visited his homestead and museum in the beautiful town of Greenville, TN. He is also buried there in the National Cemetery.
