(52,493 posts)andrew johnson, nixon, and clinton all faced opposition parties in the house (nixon resigned before being formally impeached).
no president has ever been impeached when his own party controlled the house.

(38,458 posts)I suspect it means that Trump could be there the whole time, no matter what...unless he resigns

(52,493 posts)1) everyone still thinks nixon would have won re-election anyway.
2) watergate didn't involve a foreign government.

(51,311 posts)there be no mistake and no obfuscating, no prettifying the language or pussyfooting around the crime:
It wasn't "meddling." It wasn't "interfering." It wasn't "hacking." Or, rather, it WAS all that, but all for one goal:
A COUP TO TAKE OVER THE UNITED STATES EXECUTIVE.
And so far, it has been successful.

(51,311 posts)trial run up the flagpole, to give Republicans a "cover" to finally oppose Trump.

(575 posts)I was a teen during Watergate and watched hearings and later on read All The President's men.
The only thing is that there was criminal wrongdoing.
But, this is worse, I believe.
We have the republican candidate and for that matter, the party, in collusion with russia.
You see the behavior of the leaders when they were told in the summer about Russia.
You see the behavior of Nunes now.
How much of the party is involved?
The party of cold war 'hero' st. Ronnie.
What about congressman Rohrabacher? Named along with Trump in that meeting as a Russia lover.
Nixon and co. bugged the headquaters of the DNC.
But, what is going on now, with Trump doing what Putin wants, is far worse
