Impeachment

The senate has now confirmed that a person no longer in office can be impeached. Recently many people from the past like Presidents Washington and Jefferson have been denigrated for owning slaves. Can they and perhaps President Lyndon Johnson be impeached posthumously? In August 1964, the United States entered the Vietnam War after reports of an unprovoked attack in the Gulf of Tonkin. But the reports were false — and the president knew it. Can President Nixon be impeached for Watergate? Can Chief Justice Taney who ruled over the Dred Scott decision be impeached? The Dred Scott decision, was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court in which the Court held that the US Constitution was not meant to include American citizenship for black people, regardless of whether they were enslaved or free. Once you start going after past sins there is no end.
