On my walls I have a picture of YOU, Matt Davis, wiping the tears out of your eyes. Behind me, an autographed photo of actor George Gaines who played Cmd. Lassard in the Police Academy movie.
And I have a 12" tall Benjamin Franklin action figure.
Nothing as cool as a gavel.
Yes, Nixon was impeached. He wasn't *convicted* on account of his resignation. It's a two-step process: House impeaches (i.e., makes an accusation by approving articles of impeachment) and then the question moves to the Senate, which votes whether to convict. The first step happened, the second did not, again, because Nixon's resignation mooted the question. So, yes, Nixon was impeached. The word doesn't mean what many people think it does.
Nick Fish' father was a 'Friend of the Nazis'... FOR REAL!
check him out on wikipedia, the stuff this guy said was DANGEROUS and insane... ex:
When accused of anti-Semitism, he responded, "It doesn't bother me any. There's been too much Jewism going around anyway." ~Hamilton Fish III

excuse me, I meant GRANDfather.
Who does this remind you of??
...and a creepier sidenote, he is also a relative of the serial killer/paedophile/cannibal Albert Hamilton Fish aka The Brooklyn Vampire, the Gray Man or The Buttephant.
(Revolting stuff, careful when you read the disgusting details on wikipedia.)
No- worldwide pablo,
not quite.
you are right, Impeachment is a two step process wherein the House 'Indicts' the Senate 'Convicts'
however-
Nixon was NOT Impeached, The House Judiciary Committee held public impeachment hearings and played the white house tapes, but Nixon resigned before he was officialy impeached by the House. It would have happend but it didn't. The ONLY two presidents that have ACTUALLY been impeached are Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton- Though neither were convicted.
Serious.
Can you believe Bush is going to get off BETTER than Nixon? (write your congressman!)
My father voted in support of Articles of Impeachment. I think PR Walters is right re the timing issue.
Only a few Republicans on the committee joined with the Democrats. Their courageous actions, however, helped to legitimize the committee's action.
To respond to "researcher", my grandfather was neither a bigot nor a "friend" of the Nazis.
Like most Americans, he was an isolationist pre 1941. In later years, he was a staunch supporter of Israel.
He introduced anti-lynching legislation, supported the labor reform agenda and denounced the excesses of Wall Street.
He and I differed on many issues. We belonged to different political parties. But he was no hater.
