Was President Reagan impeached

Answer 1

Well, the only way a president can be impeached is if Congress votes him out by majority, and they can only do that if the Supreme Court allows it. The Supreme Court would allow it if the president were to break the constitution, and they would vote to impeach him. Did Ronald Reagan ever break the constitution or any other important law? NO. The reason people wanted to impeach him was some people did not LIKE him, but that is no excuse for impeachment. People talk about that they should have their right to get rid of the government if they do not LIKE it, but that is just being foolish and impulsive on unreasonable anger. This government has not reached that point in corruption as what that right was necessary for fixing.

Now for reality...Presidents are impeached by Congress. The House takes up the matter of impeachment. If they vote, by simple majority, against the president the impeachment is referred to the Senate. There, two-thirds of the senators (67 in today's 100-member Senate) must vote to convict to remove the president. The only function of the Supreme Court in the impeachment process is the Chief Justice serves as president of the Senate during the trial. (The regular president of the Senate (the vice president) steps aside, as he's got a dog in this fight--if the president is removed, the vice president becomes president. As you remember, when the constitution was written the man who came in second in the presidential race was the vice-president, so they figured he might try some shenanigans to boot the elected president.)

Should Reagan have been impeached? No. He was accused of directing the CIA to funnel money from Iranian missile sales to aid anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua. While his critics claim this may have violated an amendment to recent legislation called the Boland amendment, the President's position was that it did not. Furthermore, on congressional testimony. John Poindexter, Reagan's National Security Advisor at the time, unequivocally took responsibility for the money funneling operation and swore under oath that Reagan was never advised of the plan. Some accuse Poindexter of lying to Congress but without witnesses to Reagan's involvement, the Democrats couldn't move forward with impeachment.
