[2:31] CORRECTION: A previous version of this video misstated the year of Andrew Johnson's impeachment. He was impeached in 1868, not 1863.
The founding fathers included impeachment in the constitution so that Congress would have a way to remove leaders who had "rendered themselves obnoxious," in the words of Benjamin Franklin. But the way they set up the process, it's nearly impossible to remove a president from office without substantial support from the president's own party. That's what happened during Watergate: some congressional republicans protected Richard Nixon, but others demanded to know the extent of his involvement in a break-in at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and the subsequent cover-up. In the words of then-Senator Howard Baker, a Republican from Tennessee, "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" It was pressure from Republican leaders like Barry Goldwater that made Nixon resign before the House could vote on articles of impeachment-- Goldwater convinced Nixon that too many Republicans were willing to vote to remove him from office, he'd never survive a Senate vote.
The opposite was true during the impeachment proceedings for Bill Clinton. After it became clear he lied during a deposition for a sexual assault suit brought by a former employee, Paula Jones, about his relationship with a different employee, Monica Lewinsky, Republicans in Congress argued the offense was serious enough to be impeachable. Democrats disagreed, and although the House voted to impeach Clinton on a party-line vote, not a single Democratic senator voted to remove him from office. If a President still has the support of a majority of his political party, history suggests the chances for impeaching and removing him from office are slim to none.
While legal scholars, activists, and some Democratic members of Congress have pushed for articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, it seems unlikely at this point that a substantial number of Republicans would break rank in the Senate to create a 2/3 majority in favor of removal from office.

Bruh, they really put trump in peach... I didn't even know presidents could fit in peaches.
You forgot the fact that impeachment is just a formal acusation
do another one about #2!
Instructions unclear.
Threw a peach at the president
But that was what you were supposed to do
Trump fruiting must become a public event
@Brianna Jones instructions unclear
Painted peach black
Keep peaching dont stop until completed. ☺
Lol
This aged well
VERY well
Hilarious
It's just an explanation of impeachment. There's no way it could age poorly unless the rules were changed.
The video didn't even mention or hint at Trump yet all the downvotes. Why?
Look the description.
Zeyon because the shoes fits lmao
of course it's about Trump lmao
Hit dogs will holler
@mario6506 Look at the video's date. Why did they not make this video in previous years?

Today the president of s.korea park gun hae was impeached. The timing.
양지원 legit thought this video was going to be about that for some reason
Meri Desiree I thought that too when I saw the title.
양지원 why was she impeached ?
양지원 who cares about south korea?! it is a hit piece against trump
Knaughty F Didn't mention Trump. Mostly focused on Clinton and Nixon. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your rhetoric.
But how do you impeach an orange?
Talal Imran you repeal it
badum tss
A++ to you good sir!!
*a yelling yam
You can't, but you can impeach a peach
Well i guess here we go again...
Who's here after Trump was impeached a second time?

Has Donald Trump “rendered himself obnoxious”? I wish Ben Franklin were here.
Ryan Heemann were several shades past obnoxious
Literally everything he does is obnoxious
That's why I voted for him. Depends on what the word obnoxious is (see what I did there)
The actual question is who do we impeach first in the Democratic Party 🤔
Enigma McC yeah bud that’s not why people wanted to impeach him.
Who is watching this after Nansi Pelosi announced her inquiry of impeachment against President Trump? I doubt the Republican party will abandon trump.
Somehow got in my recommendations now xDD
Me!
Bill Barr just went against Trump, maybe we are going to see how many of those rats can swim. Here's hoping.
We will see when the Republican Party in the senate led by McConnell would choose country over trump. Right now history is not on his side.
Now more people pay attention to Trump call rather than the corruption of vice president, success of Democrat
President: *About to get impeached*
Also President: Ight Imma Head Out
I wonder why Vox uploaded this video...
BobReadsComics south korea
Yet, the video is based on American politics.
It's on the minds of the viewers.
BobReadsComics It literally says how it's never happened. Your bias stinks
leon How what never happened? I never said I didn't have a bias.
"What happens when a president becomes obnoxious."
When the founding fathers know the future.
Who's here after seeing the impeachment of Trump lol
my god what a time to be alive
RUclips'S ALGORITHM WORKS AS INTENDED!!!!
Well he is not impeach yet pelosi created a plan to impeach trump
Mg Garel he can’t get removed , Democrats don’t have senate majority
@@Alexgaming-jw6ey Wait, you already edited the comment you made and it's still riddled with grammatical errors?
No wonder you support Trump.
Who is here after news of trump facing impeachment twice😂
Meeee
Yes lol
What the use of it
@@Chicodon008 He won't be able to run in 2024 I guess so
@@samratpandey7970 No. A person cannot run for the election more than twice. No connection with impechment
I did not.. have.. sexual relations.. with.. that.. woman
Petrichor I was thinking that too
It depends on what your definition of "is" is.
Petrichor, Bill Clinton was impeached December 19, 1998.
Petrichor You got to admit he was a friendly stupid guy
...Ms. Lewinsky
Who is here after hearing Donald Trump has been impeached ?
Cboyp300 yup
He’s not officially yet. It still has to go through the senate
Nobody, because he wasnt actually impeached, nor will he be. Pelosi knows the Senate wont.
@@donrutter6765 Another person that doesn't know what impeachment means, yes he was indeed impeached. Impeachment only means that he was charged and will have a trial, not that he was removed from office. Listen in civics class people.
@@KylerJohnson7 he is impeached the senate decides if he should be removed and if he is guilty or not and he is not guilty
This was literally the only video I found that properly explained how impeachment, and then possible removal of the president works in a straight forward way.
Me on January 7, 2021: 🤔✍✍✍
**Interesting**
I support this video, regardless of what sub context you want to apply to it, it is an informative and factual video and deserves to exist.
It's funny how conservatives don't even watch the video. Trump wasn't even mentioned at all.
I watched it...only a fool would not know this is about Trump...
Doesn't matter, the crybaby liberal's will never get power again..
Trump 2020...Pence 2024 !!!
BTW Vox is a joke..
Michael B. I know Vox is more left sided and that the timing of this video has a lot of red flags. I get that.
Thanks making your opinion *clear* but a RUclips comment will never change someone's views. Goodbye.
I didn't say a youtube comment would change someone's view..
I did say that Vox was a far left hate machine that is never correct..
Bye Bye
*GalaxyofPromises* it's not about the video mentioning trump, it's about the video being made by vox
But you watched the whole video which means you wanted to know how to impeach. Your own logic brings you down.
Trump's impeachment: happens
Vox stonks : 📈
lol can everyone please chill. This is basically just a crash course episode they're not implying anything.
Yea... they kinna were
Mint™ It's uploaded by Vox. If it wasn't uploaded by Vox, everyone will be fine with it.
Mint™ So are you naive or stupid?
Leading Edge Creator because some lady in South Korea got impeached
C Major808 I'm being calm? idk the true reason for them uploading it. It's just a bit weird to me why they would uploaded now, already being more than a month in Trump's presidency, and not in February when he was signing controversial executive orders.
Do people not understand impeachment doesn't mean that the president has to resign? You could still be a president after impeachment
Hell, if Trump actually gets impeached, it'll be more like Clinton rather than Nixon, considering the supporter base he has
We have had presidents impeached by the House, but the senate prevented it from going further. The reality is that impeaching is near impossible without a majority in both house and senate, and good like getting the Republicans to remove their own blood.
Ringkun Mori yes, but then it goes up to the senate, who decided whether he should be removed, if it votes yes, then you are out
Ringkun Mori Trump is guilty of Treason hes helping Russia
lol this guy will never resign. he'd have to be physically dragged our by security. you say treason is giving important information. would giving russions heads up on ANY information to assist them or arm them with info. to that could harm or threaten the democratic process or say, hypothetically, effect the election of a president of a large country?
I don't understand how anyone can dislike this content. There was no bias and was completely informative
And just like that this video’s relevant again
And now we have a fool for a president 🤦♂️
If you’re here due to recent event, this will help you; 2:09
I have a doubt. If impeachment doesn't remove a President, then what does it do? I mean, what's on stake for impeachment? What happens now that Trump is only impeached? (assuming the senators don't remove him from office)
The Vice President replaces him
I love seeing the people thinking trump is no longer president hah
@@Akash-Watched It is called "theater"
good, good. We'll be needing this soon.
We needed it about 8 years ago
Caleb N. What crimes against the state did Obama commit?
You realize that if you're claiming Obama deserved to be impeached (who had no legitimate national security controversey around him) then you're also saying Trump (who currently has a national security controversey) should be impeached unanimously, right?

1863? Andrew Johnson? Poor fact checking...
Click "I" once annotations are turned on. They corrected the error. Nevertheless, it was a glaring mistake.
Aaron MG Yeah 1963 Lincon was president

No US preident ahs ever been impeached. It takes 20 seconds to find out that.
beware the comment section is hell

Shaheer Rahman yep
Shaheer Rahman ya dont say
yours is the worst
Who’s here after Trump got impeached ... again?
And now we have a fool for a president 🤦♂️
Well, I guess now we’re closer than we’ve ever been.
Brahm Carroll-Bessette not ay all
There are 53 senators republicans vs just 45, that means trump must lose the support of at least 20 of them
Jesus Jimenez Didn’t say it was happening, just said that we were closer than we’ve been so far. Not to mention an inside source said if it was private 30 republicans would vote for impeachment.
Brahm Carroll-Bessette how exactly are we closer than ever? In both Johnson and Clinton’s case the House voted for impeachment. This has not happened as of today with Trump. Also in Johnson’s case they were 1(!) vote short to remove the President. I can see that in this case it would not be that close. The senate will aquit Trump
Maarten van Dijk Do you think it’ll impact his approval? I don’t think it will by too much maybe a couple digits down. He has a very strong base of around 43% which he’s remained around through most of his presidency
@@gerardosantizo9604 I think you're right. Unless the House Committee finds something really damaging and as a consequence the senate will vote for removal. If that's the case I can see the digits dropping down by more than a couple.
But his base is indeed strong and they can surprise me and I still think Trump will be the candidate for the GOP.
Regardless of current politics, this was informative. Thanks for the video.
Yup, educating people about history and how the government is supposed to function is considered "propaganda" now. What an age to live in...
0:19 sounds like a sick indie rock band
“This has never actually happened.”
Just you wait.
As much as I hate Trump I will almost guarantee you that he's not going to get removed, the democrats could get it through the house easily but they need 20 republicans in the senate to agree which most likely isn't going to happen.
Man, I hope this is true 🤞🏼
@@itzkiwi5253 yea trumps not gonna be impeached theres just no way the 2/3s threshold has never ever been met.
Ok ok what has trump done wrong I just want answers! And if he is racist how?
@@cheems6020 The president is accused of dangling two things as bargaining chips to Ukraine - withholding $400m of military aid to Ukraine that had already been allocated by Congress, and a White House meeting for Ukraine's president.This would all amount to an abuse of presidential power, using the office for personal political gain and to the detriment of national security. Ukraine is using that money in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
Anyone here after what’s been happening lately lol
I'm watching the news now; wondering what an impeachment "inquiry" means.
I suppose to sleep
me too
It was under my recommended videos. 😄
The first or second time ?
Sir, you are now Impeached
hi verified guy from 3 years ago, I just exhaled
@@atlas_1802 I have rapidly exahled through my nostrils
Whos here after trumps impeachment
Who's here after he was found innocent and acquitted
I love this channel😍. Every single video. Thank you guys. Go on making more videos😄
why's everyone getting so upset they didn't even talk about trump
That's useful.. again
It’s so obvious why I’m here so I’m not gonna even say it
me: hey, pass the salt.
friend: how much you need?
me:
To those saying that this video is anti-trump propoganda, I disagree. Certainly, this video was probably produced now because of the higher amount of public unrest in regards to our President, but the video does not comment at all in regards to the current situation. In fact, the video closes by saying that history would suggest that a President would only be impeached (or resign due to the impeachment process) if they lost support of their own party. While there are undoubtedly some Republicans against trump, just as there are some Democrats for trump, one can certainly say that Trump still has the support of his party. We can therefore conclude that, if history holds true, Trump would not be successfully impeached given the current climate. Overall, I think this video was simply meant to educate people on a relevant topic, rather than having some anti-trump agenda.
Timing us everything.
Why does this have an abnormal amount of dislikes. I'm definitely not a liberal, but this wasn't biased at all.
President Trump was overheard saying, I'm not orange, I'mpeach. My prison jumpsuit is Orange.
1. Get peach
2. Get president
3. Put president in peach
4. Eat/Destroy peach
5. You're done!

Indeed.
There should be a correction: It's 1868, not 1863.
Trump: nobody knows impeachment better than me
Vox: "This is how impeachment works."
Comment section: "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPLY???"
Vox is really capitalizing on all this Donald Trump hype 😂
?
Did you watch the video? no mention of him at all in this video.
Jevvy Media true, trump is good for business, even if you are against him.
I watched the full video. I'd say most people clicked on this to see how Donald Trump could get impeached. This isn't a topic they would cover if the President wasn't so volatile. They watch trends and they capitalize. Don't be stupid man. That's the same reason why they dropped 'The Doomsday Clock, explained' video.
Yeah man. A lot of channels and media outlets are making a name for themselves thanks to him. He's feeding a lot of mouths because he's a constant news cycle.
Who's watching this after Donald's impeachment?
You know why you clicked on this video
How about if it passes the 2nd step, there's a referendum across the nation and the PEOPLE choose.
I don't think the framers were that smart
Error
I see youtube reccommended this at a right time
@Vox keep up the good work,i lean alot watching your videos
I love how a nonpartisan video about the process of impeachment causes Donald's fans to immediately assume it's talking about him. Honey, if you think discussing anti-corruption laws and procedures for removal is automatically anti-Trump, then you've got to know at least subconsciously that he's breaking some laws
Someone got impeached twice in ONE term 👀
And acquitted twice.
Y’all need to update this
Something to bear in mind about Nixon is that both parties were going through an upheaval of what exactly they stood for, which had started as far back as the '30s. The first Republican challenger to FDR's reelection could barely muster a bad word to say about him, because neither party was united in opposing the policies of the New Deal; and a similar phenomenon happened with the Civil Rights Movement; there were a lot of racists opposed to integration and the like, but they were split between both parties. Being a member of one party or the other didn't mean as much as it eventually would, so party loyalty wasn't nearly as strong either. Eventually they settled into their current roles as representatives of the left and the right respectively, and became the immovable objects we know today.
RUclips algorithms is getting better everyday.
I don't think Nixon would be Impeached in today's political climate. Neither is Trump; unless we win the midterms which won't happen for liberals don't vote during it; and voter suppression will be at its highest since pre-civil rights era.
RoleplayHumor do you have any evidence to back your claims of voter suppression?Maybe the reason why liberals lose is because Americans don't like the Democratic Party?
Berzerk Troll uhhh did you ever see the video were black Panthers were at a voting place to intimidate white voters. Or the other videos were of you were white you we're not allowed to vote. it happens it's real and we need security guards not police or Panthers guarding the doors. NOBODY need to feel unwelcome their if they are legal American citizen
RoleplayHumor
>Says voter suppression would be at its highest, suggesting the elections would be rigged
>Gives not a single reason why anyone would believe this
Voter suppression? Like what? Dead people voting or the Illegal Aliens voting- Still you'll lose more seats
RoleplayHumor Okay, on what grounds would you assume that voter fraud would increase due to Trump's presidency?
Funny how i get recommended this video now
What stood out to me the most was at 0:48 where it says UNC Chapel Hill
Go heels
why are people downvoting this when it came out 2 years ago?
Because they are afraid that the truth will come out and their current president might get impeached.
*so you're telling me there's a chance?*
The RUclips recommendations have a great sense of humour.
I bet my History teacher is going to watch this video
Oh, i thought you had to feed him peaches, my bad
"Treason means helping enemies of the united states"
*Cough* *Cough* Trump *Cough*
how has trump committed treason? i dont want to sound smug but that is a rediculous accusation.
Treason is basically what nationalists call things they don't like.
Soviet Loli Ot’s worse. Treason is now just whatever Donald trump and his family did in 2005
David Johnson the Putin-Trump summit! Siding with Putin over The FBI! Duuuu
Earl Rogers Your complete lack of intelligence bedevils me.
2:29 On January 13th, 2021, this will change.
President: *Get impeached by bribe*
Vice president: it's free real estate
Imagine hating a channel so much that you subscribe to it, comment on their newest videos, and give them views. Imagine being _that_ sad.
johnson was impeached in 1873 because lincoln was president in 1863
MyNameIsCocoa Pretty sure it was 1868, but yeah, date was a bit off.
LOL I JUST GOT A DONALD TRUMP AD BEFORE THE START OF THE VIDEO
2 hours after his impeachment lol
Shouldn’t impeachment be decided by an impartial 3rd party so party ideologies and loyalty don’t play a factor?
Great video! Objective explanation drawing examples from our history.
*_I just somehow knew that this video would get some hate!_*
Needed this eight years ago! Not now!
we need this video now , thank u
"How to impeach a president" - Even youtube is telling me its "recommended for you"
I guess talking about something related to a current event is a crime now
Yes.
My my, what perfect timing!
The president has indeed rendered himself obnoxious--well said Dr Franklin. Can't we just get rid of him already? Living under him is as terrifying as being in the back seat of a drunk driver's car, and liberating ourselves from this dangerous predicament is just as urgent.
this isn't anti Trump propaganda. if anything this type of video should calm down the anti Trump people. He's not going to get impeached. so all those Twitter hashtags are pointless LOL
branden I agree, they'd be criticized no matter when they posted this video
Trump wasn't even mentioned in the video you dipshit.
How is it gonna calm trump followers when the topic of impeachment is ridiculous brought by trump haters
Then why didn't they make this video when Obama was President?
But what if he resigns...
A step-by-step procedure.
Easy, fun and simple DIY.
Learn here!
LOL
Perfect timing for this to be in my recommend
I like how this is on trending at the moment
Trump supporters are so mad
I'm a centrist and it looks like you're the one who's butthurt.
Was he even mentioned in the video?
No, which is why it's so delicious. The Trump supporters were triggered by a video that didn't even name Trump. This is the best example of thin-skin I've ever seen.
I'd argue Trump haters are even more mad, taking the time to make all of these videos about getting rid of Trump after he already won.
Trump was not mentioned in this video.
Who's here after recent news related to Trump's impeachment?
LOL, I hope all liberals watch this so maybe they will learn you can't impeach someone just because you don't like them. 🤣😀😜🤣😂😂😂😆😆😆
Yes class, there are laws in America we go by, lol
At 4:30 I thought that was Mean Gene Okerlund talking to Hogan for a luh bit. Lol
Benjamin Franklin knew Alexander Hamilton had presidential aspirations.
