Question

Please help 20 pts In 1868 Congress impeached President Johnson. According to the Constitution, a President may be impeached if Congress believes he has __________.

A.
vetoed too many of Congress's bills
B.
committed a crime
C.
ignored his campaign promises
D.
all of the above

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not considered worthy of impeachment as only the President can do this and it does not matter how many times he vetoes bills. C is a common thing for a President to do (after all, there are so many campaign promises) but it does not mean that will hurt the President. Thus D is incorrect, leaving only B, which is the correct answer. Think about how the Senate acts as a jury in the case of the crime the President committed, and he may or may not be found guilty.
