I think Congress has been far too tolerant of terrible Presidents, even before Andrew Johnson. On a related note, reading about the attempts to impeach John Tyler, the first President to suffer that indignity, are amusing.
Curtis was a helluva lawyer and had the prestige of having been the only man ever to resign SCOTUS on principle, over Dred Scott.

This is also a great read on impeachment, if the addition of more legalese and political wrangling to your already full of it schedules doesn't scare you off. https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GPO-HPREC-HINDS-V3/context …
