IMPEACHMENT 1868, 2019

IMPEACHMENT 1868 This December 19, 2019, constitutional edition for Donald John Trump is my second, observed, American Presidential impeachment . I am 68. The first American Presidential impeachment was in March 1868, just 3 years after the Civil War, the Andrew Johnson-edition. It was in the era in which our great-grandparents lived, following the Civil War, “Freedom War,” to them, when, then, newly freed from slavery, they may not have known of impeachment’s importance in their lives. If not they could hardly be blamed! Being “free” itself was so dazzling, so hopeful; so heaven-sent; that just to survive with their families, intact, from day-to-day was so daunting in Mississippi, they are excused, by me, if they did not appreciate impeachment’s enormity. “Freedom” with its daily challenges to the underserved Freedmen, who lacked land, resources, back wages was their enormity! Freedom and surviving: eating, sheltering, raising, clothing, educating their with family intact, were our great-grandparents’ all-consuming challenges. Freedom is no less our enormity, in 2019! “Freedom” is an ever-present enormity for everyone! U.S. Senate: The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson (1868) President of the United States
