The House conducts the investigation and drafts Articles of Impeachment for 'treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors.' The Senate tries the case with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding. If 2/3rds of the Senate votes for the Articles, the president is removed from office. Only two presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton. Neither were removed from office.

Though he enjoyed record public support during the Persian Gulf War, President George H. W. Bush saw his numbers dip dramatically in the polls and he lost his re-election bid to democrat Bill Clinton in 1992.
16 The Media
17 The President and the Press Presidents and media are often adversaries due to different goals Many people in the White House deal with the media, but the press secretary is the main contact person Media are often more interested in the person, not the policies News coverage has become more negative
18 Partisan Politics Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and vigorous critic of the Bush administration, May, 2005 Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R) battles President Bill Clinton (D) over the national budget resulting in the shutdown of the federal government in 1995
