New game: American presidents who SHOULD have been impeached. My candidates: Richard Milhaus Nixon and Warren Gamel Harding; Nixon resigned to escape impeachment; Harding died to escape impeachment; both Republicans.

I asked that question to name another impeached president after my company did a report on NYC public schools. One of the questions on the test was a multiple choice to ‘name a impeached President.’ 89% said Nixon (never impeached because he resigned before anything could happen). Nobody picked Johnson, most didn’t even know he was president. The test was to show how students are not being taught basic American history.
I was curious to see how many TFPers would also say Nixon - due to media/personal bias, I don’t want to turn this into a political thread. I wanted others to know this history.
