…impeachment is a very frequently used tool in an effort by the opposing party to gain back control.
13 presidents (including Reagan, 2 Bushes, Clinton, Obama, and Trump), 4 Vice Presidents, 9 Cabinet Members, 3 Fed Reserve Members, 17 other government officials - have faced having Articles of Impeachment filed against them while in office.
Of all the presidents who have had charges brought against them by the House of Representatives, only 2 actually made it to a Senate trial (Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton) ...where both were acquitted and thus finished out their terms of office.
