Our Founders didn’t invent impeachment from scratch. Oh no. According to Hamilton, they looked to Britain which provided “the model from which the idea of this institution has been borrowed.” In the 18th Century, British Parliament impeached two men – both *former* officials. https://t.co/ZAFHT8t6yX — PolitiTweet.org

You're going to hear a lot of bad faith arguments about impeachment. Trump’s team will argue you can’t convict former officials or presidents. But history shows otherwise! And the Founders disagreed, too. Let's turn to 18th Century Britain. (Stay with me, folks) 🚨🚨🚨THREAD: https://t.co/Kn7RwpQunO — PolitiTweet.org

Parliament impeached the former Lord Chancellor in 1725 for acts of bribery during his term. And in 1787, while America's Founders met to draft our Constitution, Warren Hastings of Britain was impeached for abuses he committed while Governor-General of Bengal. — PolitiTweet.org
