1. Well we can sure hope.

10. As I recall they got him for taking bribes & tax for fixing milk prices

15. "No contest" was his famous defense.

I had a great Spiro tshirt with that line.

9. Yes he can be impeached

and a President can not pardon anyone who has been impeached.

[Spinzonner]

16. Well that's not exactly true as stated

Any subsequent or additional criminal judgments of the individual impeached could be subject to a pardon.
