Wow, it is tinfoil hat time! Wow, it is Radical Republican QUOTE time. "By God, the sooner he is assassinated the better!" -- Senator Benjamin Wade Congressman George Julian declared Lincoln's reconstruction policies, "as distasteful as possible to Radical Republicans." After Lincoln's assassination, Congressman Julian wrote, "while everybody was shocked at [Lincoln's] murder, the feeling [among Radical Republicans] was nearly universal that the ascension of Johnson to the presidence would prove a godsend to the country." Senator Zachariah Chandler said, "God placed a better man in Lincoln's place." And just to round it out,

Lincoln had enemies-another new revelation!

Like I said, tinfoil hat time.

These guys wouldn't impeach Lincoln but they would assassinate him!?

Is he dead?

How many (public) votes does it take to impeach?

How many votes does it take to assassinate?
