35. Good question.

I do not know the answer to that. I'll see if anyone I know has an answer. Since no president has been impeached, tried, and convicted, it's new territory. So it is a great question. Thank you for raising it!

I've been involved with boxing for over 55 years now. Met a lot of tough people. Fought quite a few of them. Not a single one was a loud-mouth bully. Not one. And not a single loud-mouthed bully proved to be a tough guy.

Likewise, in life outside of the Great Sport, I've met numerous tough people. Some were fighting diseases, others dealing with tragic events. No bullies there. I've also met some loud-mouthed bullies who were punks. In forensic social work, they were not uncommon, but always unattractive.
