Polk had a mullet, which is definitely an impeachable offence IMO.

I'm not sure that failing to prevent secession is "treason."

Reagan and perhaps HW Bush definitely should have been impeached for Iran-Contra. Nixon and Reagan for their pre-election actions (Nixon probably sabotaged peace talks, while Reagan's talks with Iran was definitely a criminal offense if proven).

There was no proof of Harding's involvement in Teapot Dome, why is that an impeachable offense?

John Adams- Alien and Sedition acts
Andrew Johnson- Violating Tenure of Office Act

So Adams should have been impeached for following a law passed by both houses of congress, But Johnson should have been impeached for not following a law passed by both houses of congress?

Agree with this part of his post. Just noticed, I think two of the three Presidents from TN should've been impeached.

George Bush: Illegal War in Kuwait
Bill Clinton: Illegal War in Kosovo
George W. Bush: Illegal Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, illegal domestic surveillance

These, plus:

John Adams - Alien and Sedition Acts
Chester Arthur - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Grover Cleveland - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Benjamin Harrison - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
William McKinley - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Theodore Roosevelt - Conspiring to establish Panama for the sole purpose of building the Canal, Not enforcing the 14th Amendment in the South
William H. Taft - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Warren G. Harding - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South, Corruption
Calvin Coolidge - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Herbert Hoover - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South
Franklin D. Roosevelt - Not enforcing 14th Amendment in the South, Internment of Japanese-Americans, wartime persecution of political dissidents/opponents of the war, violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (use of the army to break strikes)

Pretty much every single President after Grant and before Eisenhower is complicit in not protecting the rights of black Americans in the South after Reconstruction, and should have been impeached for not fulfilling their oath to uphold the constitution, i.e. enforcing the 14th Amendment in the South and allowing for the Southern aristocracy to re-assert power after its defeat in the Civil War.

Also, John Tyler should have been arrested as a traitor after being elected to the Confederate Congress.

Lincoln-War crimes during Civil War
Teddy Roosevelt-Unconstitutional expansions of the executive Branch
FDR-Unconstitutional expansions of the executive Branch.
LBJ-Lying about Gulf of Tonkin
Nixon-Watergate
Bush-War in Iraq, Patriot Act
Obama-NDAA, Patriot Act extensions, Libya, Syria
Bush Senior-Kuwait war
Wilson-WWI, violating civil liberties
Truman-Korean War
Polk-Mexican-American War
Mckinley-Spanish-American War.
Clinton-Kosovo,
Jackson-Trail of tears, disobeying supreme court.
John Adams-Alien and Sedition Acts



I said impeachable actions not something you disagree with. Spanish,Mexican,WW1 wars were all declared formally by congress so you cant be impeached for that.
