    Yep. Andrew Johnson. If he had been removed via impeachment, the southern seeds of fascism could have been executed like the traitors they were.

    In addition, Nixon probably would have been a hell of a lot more careful because impeachment wouldn’t have been a merely theoretical possibility.

    Each failed impeachment further cements the idea that presidents are untouchable, leading up to the current situation.
