High school history teachers Ms. Ratledge and Mr. Linden explore the three possibilities --the 25th amendment, impeachment, and censure -- for a public reprimand of the President after his actions involving the Capitol siege on January 6th. As predicted on the podcast, President Trump was officially impeached (for the second time) on January 13th, a day after our recording. Nonetheless, tune in for some intrigue into Ms. Ratledge's own political history, some queries into why indict and convict are not pronounced the same way, and, of course, the history behind it all. We take a look at why the 25th amendment was created, who in the heck has ever been censured by the Senate (it has only happened once!), and how many federal officials have been impeached by the House of Representatives.
*This podcast was recorded on Tuesday January 12th, a day before President Trump was impeached.
