History

Historical Context

Watergate’s 1974 impeachment inquiry, authorized by the House Judiciary Committee by a 410-4 vote, forced President Nixon to resign and demonstrated congressional power to enforce oversight. That precedent echoes in 2026 as Ohio Rep. Max Miller stays on the ballot despite abuse allegations, while Senators Jon Husted and Jim Banks call for his resignation.
