[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.

you guys are hopeless.
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
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.

Sad hours 😟🙁
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.
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 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
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 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
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 TH-cam 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.
Who's here after seeing the impeachment of Trump lol
my god what a time to be alive
TH-cam'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.
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
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.
Who's here after Trump was impeached a second time?
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?
In my country only way to remove king is to challenge him to combat and win, then you become king.

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.
Trump's impeachment: happens
Vox stonks : 📈
And just like that this video’s relevant again
And now we have a fool for a president 🤦♂️
"What happens when a president becomes obnoxious."
When the founding fathers know the future.
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
Funny how this is *randomly* showing up in people’s recommended now
cry more
President: *About to get impeached*
Also President: Ight Imma Head Out
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"
Me on January 7, 2021: 🤔✍✍✍
**Interesting**
"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.
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.
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 here after Trump got impeached ... again?
And now we have a fool for a president 🤦♂️
I don't understand how anyone can dislike this content. There was no bias and was completely informative
1. Get peach
2. Get president
3. Put president in peach
4. Eat/Destroy peach
5. You're done!
beware the comment section is hell
Scare Me Amy it's sad.
*SAD
Shaheer Rahman yep
Shaheer Rahman ya dont say
yours is the worst
“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.
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
human being 1863
freeamsterdam *1863 typo
No US preident ahs ever been impeached. It takes 20 seconds to find out that.
TH-cam’s algorithm working magic again.
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.
Sir, you are now Impeached
hi verified guy from 3 years ago, I just exhaled
@@atlas_1802 I have rapidly exahled through my nostrils
Vox: "This is how impeachment works."
Comment section: "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPLY???"
Definitely more people are gonna watch this now!
I don't think the framers were that smart
Error
Trump just did all of those 3 😂
#IMPEACHTRUMP
David T. There’s no proof of any wrongdoing by Trump and his administration
Uh oh SpaghettiOs bruhh😂😂
Uh oh SpaghettiOs no proof means just that- doesn’t mean he hasn’t actually done something wrong.
GaryDomaz and David T give me three examples of treason, bribery or other high crimes that trump did while he was president?
Well, well, well. The madman has done it again, I can't wait for the GOP to ignore the treason because it risks having a liberal president.
why's everyone getting so upset they didn't even talk about trump
President Trump was overheard saying, I'm not orange, I'mpeach. My prison jumpsuit is Orange.
Yup, educating people about history and how the government is supposed to function is considered "propaganda" now. What an age to live in...
*Donald trump became president*
Me: *searches up* how to impeach a president

Who is watching after Trump got impeached.
I a- Oh wait that was a dream,
DAMMIT!
Sadly hasn't happend yet.
i hope he doesn't, pence would be MUCH worse than trump
i dont think people from different dimensions can see this
No one cuz it will never happen
Whos here after trumps impeachment
Who's here after he was found innocent and acquitted
That's useful.. again
It’s so obvious why I’m here so I’m not gonna even say it
0:19 sounds like a sick indie rock band
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
me: hey, pass the salt.
friend: how much you need?
me:
Who's watching this after Donald's impeachment?
Having an affair shouldn't be a high crime but lying under oath.... especially for a president
Does this mean no presidents have ever lied?
TH-cam algorithms is getting better everyday.
Who is watching this when Trump got impeached the second time?
Waiting for video title "Why Donald Trump was impeached?".
President: *Get impeached by bribe*
Vice president: it's free real estate
Someone got impeached twice in ONE term 👀
And acquitted twice.
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.
I see youtube reccommended this at a right time
You know why you clicked on this video
Donald Trump for Impeachment 2017.

I can see you do not follow the real news.

J Chuck in your dream fascist
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
"How to impeach a president" - Even youtube is telling me its "recommended for you"
Trump: nobody knows impeachment better than me
Democrats, take notes.
Hey America! This is why you dont have a 2 party system ya dolts!
Regardless of current politics, this was informative. Thanks for the video.
Send this video to Donald Trump
What are we waiting for, then?
No reason exists for Trump to be impeached.
Vox deleted my comment saying they'd probably make a video discussing how to remove a president via force. GG.
Joey Skylynx VOX is just another anti trump libtard website that probably claims itself as trustworthy news when it comes to reporting politics
Democracy. Its in a coma.
Wicket oh yeah? and where do you get your news? conspiracy experts brietbart? lmao you're a joke
Who’s here after Trump’s 2nd impeachment
Who’s here now because of trump? 2019 impeachment
Funny how i get recommended this video now
Anyone here after Trump gets impeached?
No, he hasnt been impeached nor will he in the senate, only the coup in the house of representatives.
I guess talking about something related to a current event is a crime now
Yes.
We need to impeach trump until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Why ? tell me what he's done wrong....You can't impeach him because the crybaby's don't like him.
M'lord, surprised to see you here. A pissening presidency we have on our potato hands it seems.
Lord Vader Sickening
Sorry but your butthurt feeling don't matter, Trump hasn't done anything to get him impeached yet. Keep dreaming instead of facing the real world, because that will definetly make things better.
George Kromidas Shh dont tell the left that they get a little emotional sometimes.
If I were president, I would get rid of homework and make every Friday pizza day in the cafeteria.
How conveniently recommended
Impeach Trump
why?
Obnoxious Behavior isn't illegal? So its okay for him to do whatever he wants even if that means endangering our safety? Prolly even the entire planet is wiped out?
tell me what part if M.A.D. do you not get? he will not use nukes, assuming thats what you think he might wipe out the planet with. and no, obnoxious behavior is not illegal, I have checked this on many sources from left-biased CNN.com to right-biased Fox News and everything in between.
I can immediately tell you haven't watched the video....good job...everything you read on the internet is not true!
Impeach Enrique
Ironic.
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.
I love this channel😍. Every single video. Thank you guys. Go on making more videos😄
Lmao at the comment section honestly. Vox makes a video without even saying Trumps name and all y'all are triggered. If you ask me, it's not vox who has the problem, it's yall.
I like how people talk about trump even tho this video has nothing to do w him.
Sure it doesn't.....and i am commenting on pornhub not youtube...yeahhh right!!!!
Golden Stacked Warriors it doesn't say trump in the title and I'm not defending him
Oh it's totally just a coincidence...

Really ? You imeaditly relate this to Trump and not even thought for a second about South Korea ?
It doesn't make sense to relate this to South Korea because their government works differently than the US and all the examples Vox used were based in the US
Gorot South Korea has different laws this is talking about a US President
South Korea has different impeachment laws.
Yeah, I assumed this. My commentary was toward the fact that impeachment is a subject that came up frequently in the media because of the South Korea situation, I never said it was the same thing.
***** What? I didn't say anything about trump... or did you intend to reply to Gorot?
we should impeach donald trump
What if the senate is corrupt?
I am hoping, Trump would be the first one to be impeached.
Wrong , he is going to be your president for the next 6 years!!!! Trump 2020
Two other presidents have been impeached, Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson...
Erick Posada restrepo did you even watch the video
This video detailed the “oranges” of impeachment
hehe. Funny how this video is recommended on the day after Pelosi announced, she wants to impeach Trump.
I bet my History teacher is going to watch this video
