Bet you missed the impeachment question. They are wrong, the answer is 1 not 2. Clinton was found guilty, Andrew Johnson was tried but beat it by a couple of votes, there fore while articles were brought against him he was NOT actually impeached.
Here's another one for you, What was Joe McCarthy's involvement with HUAC  ?
I'll post the answer after you've had a chance to post.

I wondered about that, they said I got that one wrong. I understood Johnson was not impeached by one sick House member who was wheeled in on a stretcher.

BJ was the first US President actually impeached.

Impeached  means ...to have charges brought....like an indictment...not yet a conviction
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Acutally there were two impeached, andrew jonhson and bill clinton.   both were impeached, but not convicted.( you need to read up on your history, he was not convicted do to not getting 2/3rd of the senates to vote to remove him.)   The one I missed was about senators terms...  I was wrong in thinking they had term limits.

Joe was a Senator so he had no direct involvement with the "HOUSE" Committee on Un-American Activities.

Much maligned, Joe was.  History has proved him right.

Clinton was impeached  on one count,  Johnson was not, Removal is another matter,  Punishment is optional in impeachment

Alfsuave got it on McCarthy

27 out of 30.  Guess I need to finish my first cup of Joe before I take tests. ???
