      That was the motive, yes. But the Senate trial was fought very much over the Tenure of Office Act, and while Johnson was a terrible president, he was rightly acquitted of violating an unconstitutional Act of Congress.https://twitter.com/howardfineman/status/1151161268214128640 …

      Historians who’ve studied the impeachment of #AndrewJohnson say the real charge against him was not so much a particular high crime or misdemeanor as it was his foul, hate-filled ignorance and overall bad character. He was too putrid for the presidency. So there’s a precedent.

      I bow to nobody in my admiration of Abe Lincoln, but he really doesn't get enough criticism for picking Andrew Johnson as his Vice President *and then* ignoring his Cabinet's advice not to go to the theater.

          American history would have been different with a, say, President Sherman.

          Lucky for Grant that his wife hated Lincoln’s wife (or vice versa).

          I've heard everyone hated Lincoln's wife and she wasn't even allowed near his body. They wanted her out of the house. What's up with that?

          Yeah but what do the analytics say about going to the theater. I mean before Lincoln your A/100TTTT was basically zero.
