They are numerous and varied with some that were serious violations of ethics and corruption, some that were merely political embarrasment, some ar major milestones in US History including some whose titles are legendary and some that were swept under the carpet or better forgotten about. Here are a few: * Teapot Dome. * Vicuna coats. * Watergate. * Iran-Contragate. Scandals in everyway however History and historians certainly gloss over numerous possible Constitutional moments that turned out as favorable to the Nation like the Louisiana Purchase. More scandalous then many other happeningss and glossed over in many historical records are the shamful internment of Japanese Americans during WWII and the forced removal of the American Indian including the Trail of Tears.
