  1. FUN FACTS!!  I got Truman...  But did look up the impeachment question... I knew A. Jackson, but couldn't remember if BC was really impeached or if it was it questioned.....   I think that anyone who could write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other is worth mentioning...  Is there anyone out there who can do that now??

  3. The alert said "Nobel Peach Prize" - I see you've corrected it.  But at first, I wondered if that was something like the "Pullet Surprise".

    Many people don't realize that "he's been impeached" is like "she's been sued".  It doesn't imply any particular conclusion.

  4. Interesting facts.    Was Clinton actually impeached?   I thought that it went to a vote in Congress and lacked the votes for official impeachment which would have meant his removal from office?    mark
