    Jeet Heer Retweeted Megan McArdle

    True but if Nixon hadn't resigned, many (maybe most or all) Republicans would've voted to impeach. That's why he resigned.https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/864012818718248960 …

    No US president has been impeached by his own party. A historical fact to consider before you start making predictions or comparisons.

        Right. In theory no one should be impeached, all should see it coming and resign.

        No question about this. Nixon did not resign until the moment it was clear that he did not have the votes in the Senate to avoid conviction.

        Congress will impeach regardless of party if it means saving their seats. Trump's approval rating is more pertinent here than party

        They most likely would have to have a tape of Trump and Russian conversation maybe even the pee pee video would do.Trump is to stupid

        Attempting to provide single-payer healthcare to all Americans would probably be their breaking point.

        His party was a minority in Congress though, so the comparison to today doesn't work. Republicans can help keep all this covered up.

        Out of self preservation, might we add. If Trump becomes too Toxic, they will throw him under the bus

        Replying to @HeerJeet @david_rysk

        Articles of impeachment would have been voted on the very next day. If impeached, Nixon would have been ineligible for pardon, thus urgency.

        Also, vote to impeach Nixon in full House would not have been party-line with every GOP rep defending

        There was a completely intervening event between the Committee vote to impeach and resignation; release of “Smoking Gun” tape
