Impeachment Aftermath


Donald Trump is about to be Impeached by the House of representatives.  When that happens he will become only the third of 45 Presidents to be Impeached , not counting Richard Nixon who escaped certain Impeachment and Removal by resigning in disgrace.

It's likely Trump with then be the third Impeached but not removed by the Senate. Andrew Johnson , who tried to turn Win the Battle for the Confederate States after the Union Won the War over Slavery, escaped removal by one Vote. He was so unpopular after that, he declined to run for re-election.

Richard Nixon left a legacy of larceny and bribery so long it filled several books and hours of tapes , and ended in prison terms for 48 of his closest advisors and co-conspirators. He ended his days in disgrace, and died of a stroke at 81, after asserting to David Frost that "...if the President does it, it is not a crime."    

Bill Clinton was Impeached for lying about getting blow-jobs in the Oval Office. The Senate found that unimpeachable and acquitted him. After that, Clinton finished his Second Term with a 60% approval rating from the American public that soundly punished the partisan Republicans for their folly.

Donald Trump , with a mountain of evidence of his criminal and unacceptable behavior as President , will likely not be removed because Republican Senators are afraid he will Tweet against them, and cost them their seats. But History will not look kindly upon him . The long term verdict and his possible arrest on charges of High Crimes and Felonies will follow him the rest of his days .

So my question after his removal by whatever means it takes, is this :

If we routinely Void the Heisman trophy , the Tour de France and Olympic Medal Winners for disgracing themselves and their Countries by doping or cheating , and we deny the Baseball Hall of Fame to All-Time great ballplayers like Pete Rose ( for gambling)  or Barry Bonds (for steroids) ; then shouldn't we also Void Donald Trump's Term as 45th President?
