No cheating Paddy!

"...as the trial progressed it became increasingly apparent that the impatient Republicans did not intend to give the President a fair trial on the formal issues upon which the impeachment was drawn, but intended instead to depose him from the White House on any grounds, real or imagined, for refusing to accept their policies."

Ok I never read any books but from the statement I quess it is from Clinton's book My Life. Or a book about Nixon because they are the only two presidents that I know had impeachment trials.

Good guess but it's from Profiles In Courage where there's a chapter about Andrew Johnson. He was president after Lincoln and Congress hated him and tried to get rid of him. He was acquitted. Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.

Yeah, I spend too much time reading :-P
