July marks the 50th anniversary of the House Judiciary Committee’s vote recommending the House of Representatives impeach President Richard Nixon for high crimes and misdemeanors. The votes on all three articles passed with bipartisan majorities and led to Nixon’s resignation. The first presidential impeachment process since Andrew Johnson’s in 1868, the committee’s inquiry remains the only one before or since that can be judged to have been a success.
