      1. The first congressional impeachment vote against any president occurred in July 1842 and concerned John Tyler. Like Trump, Tyler didn't win the presidency by popular vote. Tyler assumed the presidency when William Henry Harrison died 31 days into his term. Also like Trump ...

      2. ... Tyler stood accused of obstructing Congress, in Tyler's case by withholding information about "stupendous frauds and abuses alleged to have been committed by agents of the government." This was a report submitted to the War department that contained allegations ...

      3. of fraud committed by Indian agents in order to remove the Seminole Indians from Florida during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The allegations appear, unsurprisingly, to have been quite true.

      4. As with the Trump impeachment, opinions about whether to remove Tyler divided along partisan lines, with the intriguing difference that it was Tyler's fellow Whigs who wanted him gone (because he wasn't supporting Whig policies). My former WSJ editor Ron Shafer ...

          6. Mostly the dispute between Tyler and the congressional Whigs, led by former president John Quincy Adams (who'd entered Congress after leaving office) concerned vetoes against bills supporting a national bank and a new tariff. The articles of impeachment also ...

          11. Tyler, incidentally, didn't win a second term. He couldn't run as a Whig and the Democrats, to whom he'd belonged previously, wouldn't take him back. He tried a third-party run and eventually dropped out and supported Polk in 1844. When the Civil War came ...

          12. ... Tyler, a Virginian, tried to broker peace between north and south and, when he couldn't, joined the Confederate side, the only ex-president to do so. He even got himself elected to the Confederate Congress. The Washington Post's John Kelly argues, not unreasonably ...

          13. ... that these actions made Tyler a traitor. What's indisputable is that the first president ever to become the subject of an impeachment inquiry later joined the government of an enemy nation (though he died before he could take his legislative seat).https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/john-tyler-traitor-well-yes-actually-/2013/02/24/a387eece-7d29-11e2-9a75-dab0201670da_story.html …
