Answers: Urgent* need help with history on test!? - Wiretapping
| Answers: Urgent* need help with history on test!? How does history show that the impeachment power of congress has been a relatively ineffective tool in the policing of government officials? (For example: Clinton's scandal or Nixon wiretapping) Please give me an appropriate answer to the above question. Thanks! |
| The impeachment power is relatively ineffective tool in the policing of government officials simply because it doesn't end the crime though it was implemented. Still, officials can surpass the issue disregarding the impeachment process. In fact, in Nixon's wiretapping case, he resigned the presidency. Simply he wanted to avoid the possible prospect of losing the impeachment vote. So, officials still can think of a trick to place the impeachment into oblivion. For me, it doesn't work. |
| Who has ever been impeached by congress successfully? It is obvious to me that the president is placed in power, and not by congress, so congress is pretty incapable of doing anything but complaining about what the president does. Just like with the Nixon case, in fact that was ground breaking in itself. Obviously a president can break the law and get away with it with only a slap on the wrist. |
