Andrew Jackson was never impeached for anything. I have no idea of whom you might be thinking unless it's Andrew Johnson, impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act.

Jackson was censured by Congress during his adminstration, but in the final days of his presidency that censure was stricken from the record.

Jackson's amendment proposals were based on the idea that the country had morphed from the republic of 1787 to a broad-based democracy. One of Jackson's proposals was ratified in 1913 (the subject of this article), and another -- the abolition of the Electoral College -- will be a slam-dunk the next time a presidential election is thrown into the House of Representatives, or we repeat the election of 2000.

My mistake.

He was only off by a couple of hundred years. God help us all.

I don't think it'll take that long.
