The crowd during the impeachment needs to strictly follow the Constitution. It requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office. The chief justice presides over the Court's public sessions and also presides over the Court's private conferences, where the justices decide what cases to hear and how to vote on the cases they have heard.]]> 2021-02-03 16:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/9527798/ldttftfvu310invf/wish/1159460759 9527798 https://padlet.com/9527798/ldttftfvu310invf/wish/1159462015 Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached. He was impeached in 1868 on February 25. During the years after the civil war, President Johnson violated the Tenure of Office Act on March 2, 1867. As you can see it took them about a year to impeach him and also can take longer according to other impeachment trials.

He was impeached in 1998, in December 1998. Although the trials were delayed due to the bombings of Iraq, it took them 14 hours of debate to prove that President Bill Clinton should be impeached. In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern.]]> 2021-02-03 16:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/9527798/ldttftfvu310invf/wish/1159463889 9527798 https://padlet.com/9527798/ldttftfvu310invf/wish/1159464876 Donald Trump was the third president to be impeached and he was the only president so far to be impeached twice. He was first impeached on December 18, 2019. President Donald Trump was impeached due to abuse of power and obstruction of the Congress. This all started from a phone call Trump made to the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky encouraging him to dig up dirt on his rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter.  “He must go, he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all 
love.” - Nancy Pelosi. The second time he was impeached because of his role in stirring up a mob of supporters that stormed the capitol building not long ago.
