Fun Facts about Presidential Impeachment (Part I)

Did you know:

  • “The American concept of impeachment has its origins in Ancient Rome. Only senators could be impeached, but not the emperor. This lead to a number of assassinations—a potentially bloody situation the Founding Fathers hoped to avoid.
  • “In countries with presidents, about 94% of them have some mechanism for removing them from office.
  • “Since 1990, at least 132 different heads of state have faced some 272 impeachment proposals in 63 countries. Most leaders survive impeachment attempts.”
