Article Two, Section Four of the United States Constitution:
“The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
While impeachment may happen at the state level, in this video we’re just going to focus on every impeachment in American history at the federal level.
The House of Representatives are the only ones who have the power to impeach. First, a U.S. Representative must introduce an impeachment resolution. ANY member of the House of Representatives may do this against ANY federal public official. Not just the President, Vice President, members of the Cabinet, and other federal officials in the executive branch, but also judges and even members of Congress! The resolution is then referred to a committee- usually the House Judiciary Committee, which investigates the charges against the public official and decides whether or not to recommend ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. If they do, it goes to the entire House of Representatives for a vote. If a majority of the House votes in favor of ANY of the articles of impeachment, that official is impeached.
Who should be impeached next?
Corrections:
03:03 The Chief Justice presides over presidential impeachment trials. The Vice President presides over all other impeachment trials.
21:03 Trump actually got impeached on December 18, 2019. September 24, 2019 was when the formal impeachment inquiry was announced.

Fun fact about Trump's second impeachment: Donald Trump became the President to have the most US Senators from his own party vote in favor of conviction.
But the whole reason for the second impeachment had little to no evidence
Really says something, don’t it?
@@warlordofbritannia yeah, especially since he still wasn’t found guilty. Don’t get me wrong, I hate him as much as the next guy but an innocent man is an innocent man, no matter how terrible of a person he is.

Mr. Beat needs to do a piece on Senate censures and everyone who received it.
I'm thinking a video on expulsions first, then a video on censures.
@@iammrbeat Do a video on Article V and the Convention of States Resolution right now which has 19 states out of the 34 needed to call a convention to propose amendments to put the federal govt in check
I love how you are straight forward with history and facts without dramatizing or conflating things, thanks for the quality work and providing great videos for people to learn from
I appreciate the kind and supportive words. It helps to keep me going since I suffer from negativity bias.
@@iammrbeat I also love how you're straight with the facts and don't put any politics in it. It's would be great if more people would do that because we could all do with being able to listen to more varied points of view without them preaching their ideology all the time.
rant over, love ur channel
He is actually wrong about the history and the facts in this video, so sadly, you love what isn't actually the case in this particular video.
@@Gary_J_Meade_55 what specifically is wrong?
@American Spirit Radio (unincorporated) really?
As a history buff, you are one of my favorite channels of all time. Thank you Mr.Beat
Thank YOU, Nico.
How Reagan wasn’t impeached for Iran/contra was baffling. He went in tv and even admitted to being guilty.
That’s why they called him the “Teflon President.”
“I sign a lot of things, mistakes happen” Reagan - probably.
It was unclear whether Reagan violated a criminal law or just circumvented a Congressional prohibition.
He told killer jokes that’s why

A few fun facts:
1. In his impeachment trial, Andrew Johnson was represented by Benjamin R. Curtis. Curtis was a former Supreme Court Justice who resigned from office in protest of the Dred Scott decision. Because of his work on both cases, I believe he is an overlooked figure in American history.
2. Trump may have been the only person to be impeached twice by Congress, but there were 2 others who survived 2 impeachment attempts: one was Andrew Johnson, who, before he almost got kicked out of office, was charged with "high crimes and misdemeanors". Basically, the radical Republicans really didn't like him. He survived that impeachment by a large majority in the House.
The other person to survive 2 impeachment trials was Supreme Court Justice William Douglas. He was charged the first time for delaying the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (which was justified imo, even though Julius actually was a communist spy, I guess even McCarthy was right twice a lifetime). The next attempt to impeach Douglass was for not recusing himself from obscenity cases, since he had previously written articles for porn magazines. In other words, House minority leader Gerald Ford really wanted him out of office for political reasons.
3. James Buchanan was charged with corruption, but wasn't impeached by the House. The House did say that his administration was the most corrupt in American history, but I suspect they spared him because it was mid-1860 and he was a lame duck anyway...
1960?

Such a great video! Never realized how many judges have been impeached!
And so many of them are forgotten today. Thanks for the kind words!
why are so many of the judges also drunks 😂 being impeached for showing up to work drunk has got to be sooo embarrassing 😂
I really appreciate these videos. In school I had a hard time paying attention to history classes. The way you present the information is captivating and digestible. I definitely wish I could’ve been in your classes. It feels nice to finally catch up on and comprehend US history.
Thank you for the lovely comment
I can’t wait for the “Every President’s Prior Job/Elected Office” video. I know it’s coming soon 👀

Hi Mr Beat I’m currently taking AP Government and whenever I struggle I always come to your videos, even my boyfriend loves watching you with me. You make learning history so fun and easy AND MEMORABLE! Thank you for the content
As always, love the content Mr. Beat. Keep on educating America, one video at a time.
Thank you, Billy!
Beat, you continue to impress me with these vids, lol!
Well done, my good sir!
Well done!!!

Thank you so much! Aloha :)
That evil laugh was awesome, i didn't expect that. And as a Joseph thank you for recognizing me.
Hey Mr. Beat! Wanted to share that I am now getting PragerU ads while watching on your channel, but nowhere else (so far) - thanks for the amazing historical and political content!!
I am not surprised by that. :) Thanks for the kind words!
Yeah...I got the inkling of how this channel leaned and now it's confirmed. Please don't fall into the propaganda of somewhere like PragerU. Dennis Prager literally said there were "many nice slaveholders."
Watching this before going to work. Interesting video, Mr. Beat!
Shout out to Mr. Beat he’s always hitting us with some real education 😤
This was much more interesting than I thought it would be Mr. Beat. Thank you.
And once again Mr. Beat comes with it.
Long said that any history buff needs to subscribe to this channel.
Nice fade too. Bringing history and looking sharp.
damn the timing with the trump indictment couldn't have been better! Love your videos! Regards from France
It’s spelled indictment
@@Moneyboy_Supreme_ thanks for pointing that out m8
Just want to say you put a lot of effort in these vids and I appreciate that. Because I’ve actually learnt a lot from your channel
I appreciate the kind words!
Hi Mr. Beat, thanks for another great video! Just a small correction though: I believe that the Chief Justice only presides over an impeachment trial if the President is being impeached. In all other impeachments, it is the Vice President that presides over the impeachment trial.
I should have brought this up! I can add it in the Corrections tab.
And as with presiding over the Senate, the VP can obviosly be replaced by the President pro tempore or another experienced senator - as Trump's second Trial was presided by a senator, Patrick Leahy I guess if I remeber it correctly.
That is correct. During the 1980s impeachment trial of Nevada judge Harry Claiborne, then-Vice President George HW Bush was in the chair presiding over the key moments. One other thing Mr. Beat could have mentioned is that the reason that he was impeached UNANIMOUSLY is because Claiborne had already gone to prison but refused to resign his position (he reportedly, to everyone's SHOCK, said he intended to return the bench after completing his sentence). Republicans and Democrats alike were utterly furious, called him one of the biggest disgraces in the history of the judiciary, and thus kicked the crook off the bench themselves (there were also many accusations that he was taking bribes). One of the most disgusting, corrupt men to ever serve as a United States federal judge.
Which raises the question, if the VP is impeached can he preside over his own trial?
I love your videos! Your mannerisms are great! ...and the content is also great!
I love your show. You not only teaching history but you make it funny and enteraining.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO BRO!! Lmao the voice mimic had at 1:23 😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep it up man 🙏🏾💪🏾
Great summary and explanation, Matt.
Thank you!
you have taught me so much cool stuff about history. KEEP IT UP (also the beat goes on is a sick channel)
Mr. Beat I gotta tell you.... I like your channel a whole lot and i think you're style is top-tier. theres no "but" here, i just gotta tell you. Thanks for the education, my guy
Great video as always, par to Mr. Beat's quality. I suggest doing the presidents favorite sport or hobby to continue the series. Cheers!
Great suggestion! And thank you!
Sometimes, I think corruption has friends. In many other countries, some these people would be I'm prison. It's almost like many of them have "Nobility".

Very interesting. I don’t e ER remember discussing any of my American History courses. Thank you for your educational/informative videos.
Hey Mr. Beat, great video! Will you be doing a video on Jimmy Carter (similar to your Eisenhower video) given current events? 😅
I plan on it eventually, yes
Hey, Mr. Beat there were lots of impeachment besides presidents, so great video
I was thinking maybe do a similar video on presidents life but this time on Barack Obama
Mr. Beat uploads, let's go!
Thanks for the video
So you’re saying Nixon WAS impeached! Just not THAT Nixon.

That Joseph really messed me up 😂 its funny until Mr. Beat calls you out in a video

Damn, naming him "Archbald" was one damn fine prediction 13:10
Nice video sir beat I ☺️ enjoyed
Thanks for this video
So ironic that one of the judges from Florida was convicted for tax evasion, since that is now the leading reason that people move to Florida
People moving to florida to pay less taxes isn't "Tax evasion"
Recently, there was this invention called the joke. I know, new things can be scary
Yea so Robert Archbald is the grandfather of a math teacher at my highschool.. a few days ago he just casually dropped the fact that his grandfather was one of the very few Federal Judges Impeached and Convicted (and it was some pretty bad stuff) so I had quite a chuckle..
My name is Joseph! You were speaking right to me. I knew it!
Need to update this Mr. Beat. Cabinet Secretary Mayorkas was just impeached. 2/13/2024.
Oh boy i think someone is joining this little cool list😂
You got me curious about the expulsions from Congress. That would be an interesting video.
great video!!!
My name is Joseph lol. And that really threw me off when you said the party is just getting started. Great video I learned something
Would love to see a video about campaign promises. Who kept the most, least, none or all?

Good stuff.
Even as a somewhat-Trump-supporter, I really like Mr. Beat's channel. He is so knowledgeable, and yeah he's a dem, but I was too at one point. He also keeps his bias to a minimum which is a breath of fresh air these days. Please keep up the great work.
It's nice to see people not be insane about politics for once.
Glad you’re able to recognize the lack of bias even as someone who has different beliefs to him. Gives me hope for America’s future.
I'm really curious, what do you see in the man? or is it more that the Dem offerings are garbage?
Edit: I feel I should clarify, I am asking what do you see in Trump.
He’s not a democrat though. He’s independent.
@@WalkerLarson497 yep, and watches Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro a lot he’s said. So based on other things he’s said, he seems pretty centered.
I would love to hear about the 20 members of Congress who were expelled (and the expulsion process)!
Hello, Mr. Beat. I love your videos. They help me when I’m at work or otherwise feeling down. I recall your 2020 election video where you mentioned a few Trump supporters watch your channel. I am one of those. I’m thankful for your dedication to educating others. There is no finer act of patriotism right there! Bless you!
My name is Joseph. I appreciate you Mr. Beat.

As a Tennesseen, I'm disappointed that the first person impeached was one of my own.
I used to hate every subject besides English, but channels like yours have made me gain a new respect for history and an interest in it.

Your my favorite Mr beat!
Happy April Fools, Mr. Beat!
I can see Congressman Santos getting impeached
The house would expell him. Even though members of congress can get impeached. They normally get expelled. Plus it’s considered inappropriate for the house to impeach a senator
Especially if he gets into campaign finance trouble with the FEC.
@@iammrbeat yep
21:00 the House impeached him on December 18, 2019. September 24 was the formal start of the impeachment inquiry as authorized by the speaker of the House, but if we're counting that then we'd also need to count the inquiry against Nixon which began in October 1973 (likely the closest near-impeachment in history, as Nixon resigned after the judiciary committee vote but before the full House vote)
Thank goodness that Nixon resigned before he got impeached, or then he would have been the second president to be removed from office
Just started watching, I'm curious if you cover Gubernatorial impeachments.
Maybe in another video!
Thabks for the interesting video sbout all persons who have been impeached in the history of the US.
Now I'm looking forrward to watching your video on all those who have been imoranged, imappled, and implummed.
