Andrew Jackson’s censure is a point of concern in the third season of the West Wing… Making Jed Bartlet the second (albeit fictional) President served by Congress in such a way.

ha! thanks Cassius. thing about these turnips is: i don’t write the copy. the info is always lifted right off the web sites that “turnip.” which is part of the fun of the feature as i see it… distinguishing fact from fiction.

anyway, glad you like the turnip! happy tuesday.

I think (1808-1875) refers to birth and death of Johnson, not time served. Just looking after my boy David, whose Tuesday Turnips rock!

Teddy Roosevelt also survived an assassination attempt … in 1912. The incident makes TR the only *former* president ever to be wounded by an assassin.

BravesDawg is correct. Bill Clinton was impeached. Impeachment is similar to a Grand Jury returning a True Bill. Doesn’t mean you’re guilty, just that the matter at hand needs to be reviewed by a Jury of your Peers. Neither were convicted…

Also, it says Andrew Johnson was president from 1808-1875. That seems like a long term.

Actually Andrew Johnson is not the only president to have been impeached. Bill Clinton was also impeached. To be impeached is not to be removed from office. To be impeached is to have formal charges brought against a person in public office by a legislative body for things done while the accused was in office. You can be impeached, then acquitted, as both Johnson and Clinton were.
