        President John Tyler did not want to be president.  He was a Democrat among Whigs. Democrats were pro slavery less government. Whigs were less pro slavery and more government.  Republicans came primarily from the Whigs. President Tyler did not want be president with his Whig cabinet especially with Henry Clay.  He so not wanted to be president that he disappeared from the White House to elope with his second wife, a woman halve his age.  For three days the staff went around the White House saying, where's the president? Where's the president? Thus, President Tyler should be impeached for dereliction of duty,

           President John Polk should have been impeached for making war on Mexico to gain territory.  He was trying to create more Slave states from Mexican territory.  This violated the preamble where it states that the only purpose for the Arm Forces is for the common defense.  There is no prohibition for imperialistic war.  But when mention in the Constitution and the Federalist Papers (the official commentary of the constitution by the writers of the Constitution) war conduction by the United’s government is always defensive. President Abraham Lincoln, as congressmen, made a great and impassioned speech in congress accusing Polk as War Criminal for invading Mexico. This is also why Presidents William McKinley and Calvin Coolidge should be impeached.  President McKinley for not only the Spanish American war where territory was acquired, but also the Philippine American and Hawaii American wars.  Both Filipino and Hawaiian natives sought independence while the United States wanted to annex these territories for commercial gain. President Calvin Coolidge invaded Nicaragua.  He set up a favorable native dictator that allows the United States to exploit natural resources for commercial interests. Imperialism in North and South America violates the Monroe Doctrine.  The Monroe Doctrine forbids any further colonization of Western Hemisphere by European nations.  The implication being that United States would not do it either.  Clearly Presidents Polk McKinley Coolidge and even Theodore Roosevelt have violated the Monroe doctrine, a high crime.

          
As of yet I have not found any impeachable offenses by President Zachary Taylor.   However, if you know of any of his offenses contact me at the email below.  If verifiable I will insert it in this book.

           President Millard Fillmore should have been impeached for enforcing the fugitive slave act. It is always problematic when Congress enacts a clearly outrageous unconstitutional law. Obviously congress is not going to impeach a president who enforces its own law. Yet enforcing a law against the constitution is grounds for impeachment. Both Presidents Pierce and Buchanan continued enforce the act so they should have   been impeached as well. 

           President Millard Fillmore ushered in the darkest days in the United States History. It seemed this decade suspended democracy. It is no wonder that the end result of this was Civil War. This was a fine example how less government bred tyranny.  It is not coincidence that the next era of little government would produce the Great Depression.  This why the three presidents that preceded the Civil War and the three presidents before the Great Depression are consider worst among Presidents and the two president who rose victorious over the civil war and the Great Depression are considered the greatest.     

      
   The absent of leadership caused the Civil War.  Less government destroyed civil liberties and democracy because it allowed individuals to organize a reign of terrorism against the American people. Those that were determined spread slavery of African Americans and  to secure its future of it took advantage of these three presidents belief in less  government to force all Americans in the promotion of slavery whether they want it  or not.       

          
The fugitive slave act forced people who did not want to be deputized by slave bounty hunter to be forced to find fugitive slave and returned to the owner. These bounty hunters would hunt for slaves in the North.  They have free range to use any means necessary to capture slaves.  They would go into people’s homes uninvited. They could force even absolutist to stop what they were doing and hunt for slaves.  The target was abolitionists.  It was the government's punishment for being against slavery.  Neither of the three presidents had the compulsion to stop the people from being forced to ceased from making a living so they could be forced to hunt for slaves . Why would the government have the power to protect people from the intrusion and terror?    If a Slave Bounty hunter had to kidnap someone to maintain slavery.  That was his right to do so.

          President Abraham Lincoln should have impeached for incredible graft that incurred during the civil War.

     
     President Grant, with no political experience, depended on party bosses' suggestions for his cabinet and advisors.  The party bosses chose really corrupt people and riddled his administration with scandal after scandal.  All for which he got blame for.  Many in his cabinet were bribed by Gould and Fisk to manipulate the stock markets. These manipulations were very similar to what led up to the Crash two thousand and eight.  But in President Grant’s case is was all out cash bribes.

      
     President Rutherford B. Hayes should have been impeached for the presidential election of eighteen seventy six.  The presidential election of eighteen seventy six is sometimes considered to be a second "corrupt bargain." Three Southern states had contested vote counts, and each sent the results of two different slates of electors. Since both candidates needed those electoral votes to win the election, Congress appointed a special Electoral Commission to settle the dispute over which slates of electors to accept. The special Electoral Commission is not mentioned in United States constitution.  He had members not from the United States House of Representatives.  After the commission awarded all the disputed electoral votes to the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Congress voted to accept their report, some dissatisfied Democrats claimed that Hayes or his supporters had made a secret compromise to secure the support of some Congressional Democrats. Most of the items in this alleged "Compromise of eighteen seventy seven " were either never acted on (calling into question whether they were ever agreed to) or had already been the established position of Hayes from the time of his accepting the Republican nomination (hence not a sudden "compromise" at all).   By accepting this bargain Rutherford B. Hayes violated the United States Constitution.  To satisfy this bargain President Hayes lifted martial law from the former confederate states

   
    Chester Arthur should have been impeached for giving patronage.  Patronage is that I will give the candidate my support and vote only if the candidate promises to give me a government job.  Almost every president has done this.  Therefore these presidents should have been impeached.  Business leaders supported Arthur, as did Southern Republicans who owed their jobs to his control of the patronage.  Garfield's assassination by a deranged office seeker amplified the growing public demand for civil service reform. Democratic and Republican leaders both realized that they could attract the votes of reformers by turning against the spoils system and, by eighteen eighty two, the tide turned in favor of reform. As early as eighteen eighty, Democratic Senator George H. Pendleton of Ohio had introduced legislation that would allow for selection of civil servants based on merit as determined by an examination In his first annual Presidential address to Congress in eighteen 8 one, Arthur requested civil service reform legislation and Pendleton again introduced his bill, but Congress did not pass it. Republicans lost seats in the eighteen eighty two congressional elections, in which Democrats campaigned on the reform issue. As a result, the lame duck session of Congress was more amenable to civil service reform; the Senate approved Pendleton's bill thirty eight to fi and the House soon concurred by a vote of one hundred fifty to forty seven . Arthur signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act into law on January sixteen, eighteen eighty three.   In just two years' time, an unrepentant Stalwart had become the president who ushered in long-awaited civil service reform. Ironically Arthur is the only president to correct his crime.    

     
Benjamin Harrison  should have been impeached for his treatment of Native Americans .During Harrison's term, the Lakota Sioux, previously confined to reservations in South Dakota, grew restive under the influence of Wovoka, a medicine man, who encouraged them to participate in a spiritual movement called the Ghost Dance. Not understanding the exact nature of the religious beliefs surrounding the Ghost Dance, many in Washington thought it was a militant movement being used to rally Native Americans against American rule. On December twenty nine, eighteen ninety, troops from the Seventh Cavalry clashed with the Sioux at the Battle of Wounded Knee. The result was a massacre of at least one hundred forty six Sioux, including many women and children. The dead Sioux were buried in a mass grave. Harrison was concerned and ordered Major General Nelson A. Miles to investigate the massacre. Harrison also ordered three thousand five hundred federal troops to South Dakota, and the uprising ended. Wounded Knee is considered the last major American Indian battle in the nineteenth century.  Harrison's general policy on American Indians was to encourage assimilation into white society and, despite the massacre; he believed the policy to have been generally successful. This policy, known as the allotment system and embodied in the Dawes Act, was favored by liberal reformers at the time, but eventually proved detrimental to American Indians as most of their land was resold at low
prices to white speculators.

  
      Glover Cleveland should have been impeached for sending troops against striking workers at Pullman.   The Pullman Strike began against the Pullman Company over low wages and twelve-hour workdays, and sympathy strikes, led by American Railway Union leader Eugene V. Debs, soon followed. By June eighteen ninety four, one hundred twenty five thousand railroad workers were on strike, paralyzing the nation's commerce. Because the railroads carried the mail, and because several of the affected lines were in federal receivership, Cleveland believed a federal solution was appropriate. Cleveland obtained an injunction in federal court, and when the strikers refused to obey it, he sent in federal troops to Chicago and twenty other rail centers. "If it takes the entire army and navy of the United States to deliver a postcard in Chicago," he proclaimed, "that card will be delivered." Most governors supported Cleveland except Democrat John P. Altgeld of Illinois, who became his bitter foe in eighteen ninety six. Leading newspapers of both parties applauded Cleveland's actions, but the use of troops hardened the attitude of organized labor toward his administration.

    
   President Calvin Coolidge was the son of a prosperous farmer and storekeeper in rural Vermont.  His father influenced local politics finally becoming Justice of the Peace.  Coolidge became Mayor of Northampton, Massachusetts.  He successful quelled a police strike with a heavy handed no nonsense approach.  This action helped his get elected to Governor of Massachusetts. He was chosen to balance the ticket of the Ohio Journalist Warren Harding.

    
   At President Harding death .Coolidge became president. The economy of twenties was roaring and people seemed very happy about economic conditions of America so they elected Coolidge to a second term.  The economy continued with its success to the end of his term.  Thus, he is considered by his peers and historians as a relatively successful president.  But it is what happened six months after He left office that makes his economic policies so devastating. 

   
     The stock market crashed because there were no safeguards to protect it. What made it worse is that companies would lay off workers to maintain profits.  But with fewer workers to buy products they would lose sales, thus causing more lay off, thus causing even less sales--thus spiraling to thirty one per cent unemployment.  Most of the blame seemed to go to President Herbert Hoover because it collapses on his watch.  President Hoover had little to do with the malfeasants that was abound during the Harding Coolidge tenure, but his policy of letting the economy correct itself only deepen the depression.  At the end he did attempt to regulate and stimulate the economy but the Republicans controlled Congress rejected all his proposals.

      
  President Woodrow Wilson was perceived as an internationalist who wanted to dilute the sovereignty of the United States by allowing other nations to put checks on the United States’ policies.  If the many nations disapproved of what the United States did. Then the United States could be stopped by the League of Nations. Likewise the League of Nations could check any nation. The Republicans believes the United States should do whatever it knows is best for itself even if directly affecting another country. Only the people of the United States could check itself.  It was the basis of that belief that convinced the American people to elect the Republicans in nineteen twenty.  Thus Warren G Harding was elected.

  
     Harding seemed to have a little capabilities or interests in the presidency.  He left the governing to his cabinet and party leaders.  The producing of armaments of World War I had stimulated the economy, Business and the stock brokers came with more innovated ways to stimulate economy.  The markets were unregulated.  The economy was growing.

       
President Woodrow Wilson should have been impeached for imprisoning protesting Suffragettes who wanted the women's right to vote.  He claimed their demonstrations; during World War I were acts of sedition against the unity for the nation.  He also imprisoned antichrists, socialists and communists for political beliefs not any criminal act.  In both cases he violated the first and Fifth Amendment rights.
