I don't think there's much to discuss here and the convo has already run its course now that we've established everyone's qualifications. Hot girl contests are dumb and OOT /POG is dumb.

So I see you've met rep. He's basically always like this.
Anyway, I've been reading up on the Johnson impeachment, and man what a circus that was; I didn't really learn much about it in school. House Republicans tried several times to impeach Johnson on several bull**** charges until they found him in violation of a tick-tacky law that later wound up being repealed. After it failed, the whole notion of impeachment became a mostly discredited idea until Nixon.
It's become a cliche to say that impeachment is all about political power and not criminal behavior, but reading up on Johnson really drives that home. To be fair to Republicans, Johnson was an abominable racist Confederate-sympathizer, so it's arguable that trying to remove him by any means was a worthy goal. One sympathizes in the era of Trump.
