The most powerful position in the country comes under scrutiny in American Justice: High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Presidential misdeeds have been common, but punishment is rare. A&E looks at the historic moments when the national leader was reprimanded and, in one case, impeached. Andrew Johnson stands as the only executive to have been so removed. His opposition to the powerful post-Civil War Radical party ensured his departure. More recently, Richard Nixon resigned from office rather than face the same fate. The Watergate scandal typifies one of the most controversial periods of American leadership. A&E analyzes these close calls and takedowns while suggesting the possibility for legal reform.
