Who was the 1st president impeached by senate?

Andrew johnsonTrick question; only the House of Representatives has the power to impeach.The Senate puts the impeached person on trial and votes on their guilt or innocence. A two-thirds majority vote is required for a conviction. The vote in President Johnson's case was 35-19 guilty, one vote less than the required two thirds, so Johnson was acquitted. The Tenure of Office Act of 1867, which Johnson was accused of violating, was repealed in 1887, and in a similar case in the 20th century the Supreme Court referred to the Tenure of Office Act as "invalid" and affirmed Johnson's belief that the President does have right to fire a Cabinet Member without Congressional approval.

What is a regular veto?

A veto is the constitutional procedure by which the President (or chief legislator of a state) refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution, and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President returns the legislation to the originating House without approval. It can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in each House. A pocket veto occurs when the President (or state governor) puts aside a bill and doesn't sign it for 10 days, and the Congress adjourns during that time. Since Congress has adjourned, it is unable to override this action and must begin the entire legislative process again. From 1996-1998, the President, like many state governors, had the right to choose to disapprove only particular items of a bill without having to disapprove the entire bill, which is called a line-item veto. It was declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1998, and the President no longer has the power of the line-item veto, thought state governors continue to have the right. == ==

How is the mayor like the president?

The president is the chief executive officer of the country. The mayor may be the chief executive office of his city or town, depending on how the local government is set up. ( The mayor may also be the leader of the city council which would be the legislative body of the city, with a city manager hired to run the city. In this case, his office would not be much like the president's office. The president puts a face on the government and can speak as something of a voice of the country; the major can do the same kind of thing for his city or town.
