for andrew johnson, bill clinton, and even counting nixon, both houses of congress were controlled by the opposition party.

donnie's senate trial will be the first time the same party as the president has been a part of a presidential impeachment process.

and it's clear mcturtle is opting for a vastly more partisan approach, even when he already knows the final vote is safe.
