I was visiting an old friend of mine Yesterday and he brought up something I had been thinking about some time. I was graduated from high school in 1965. He ,from the same school, in 1945. He said," What do you make of all this talk of Trump having been impeached?" Knowing him like I do, I was certain of his meaning. I said, "Who has been impeached?"
The point being, there have been 2 Presidents brought up on charges and tried...Neither was Impeached. I am well aware that there are things that are referred to differently today than then, but Wow! I hear all day about the Impeachment by the House of President Trump. We were taught, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, That for a President to be impeached, he had to be Removed from office by trial.
So, what say you??? 3rd definition in Webster's says...to remove from public office for misconduct. First 2 refer to charging????
Just curious, the differences between 60 years of High School History.
