The recent three U.S. President impeachments/Carlos Pueblo

 The recent three U.S. President impeachments/Carlos Pueblo

There are three recent U.S. President impeachments, Clinton once in the 90's while Trump just acquitted on his second impeachment about a week before. It is because of the frozen weather delay of my thought, I can only quickly regroup myself to finish this subject.

Actually, there is almost another one in the early 70's with the threat of impeaching Nixon of his Watergate scandal. He quitted before any formal impeachment procedure and his chosen successor, Gerald Ford, pardoned him of his criminal offense. The difference between Nixon and Trump is the 2/3 requirement to be reach in the Senate. Trump has been very firm because the Republican Senate majority leader gives the number to him while Howard Baker can't promise that number to Nixon. Trump's first offense is the telephone threat to the Ukraine President to dig up Biden's son, Hunter's business scandal involving that nation or facing the consequence of his withholding the U.S. aid. On his second impeachment offense is the inciting of the Capitol riot to stop an election sanction procedure. He has embarrassed himself and the entire Nation for his disgraceful behavior. The second impeachment paper is also mentioned his continuously offence of a n hourly long telephone conversation with the secretary of the State of Georgia to get the election result changed.

The reason of Clinton's impeachment is quite interesting. He was involving some kinds of sex relationship with a White House intern. He was also acquitted because he had had the numbers. He followed his attorney's advise to pay another soliciting fore play of sex with his umbrella insurance coverage. He has recovered all his financial stress after his second term ended. He has made many speeches internationally, i.e. he spoke in Taiwan for $200,000 in an hour by mentioning that he sent an carrier to patrol the Formosan Straight while China harassed Taiwan by launching missiles in 1996 because of the Taiwanese National Election.

Trump's facing the law has just begun soon after he left the White House. There are both civil and criminal offense cases. I believe that his business is also ruined. I shall restrain myself for not mentioning him on my future writing.
