Andrew, Kevin, and Bob finally do an episode on impeachment. We go over what the constitution says about impeachment, what the Federalist Papers say about impeachment, what the articles of impeachment actually say, what the terms being thrown around every new show actually mean, and whether most Presidents should be impeached. We just barely get to what we actually think of impeachment.
