State Virginia is called “The Old Dominion” or “The President State” because eight presidents were born here. In the USA there is a Constitutional defense from having too much presidential power which is called “impeachment”: the House of Representatives impeaches a president and the Senate investigates it and takes a conclusion. In 1865 the 17^th president Andrew Johnson was impeached for breaking the Constitution and exceeding his powers. But he was excused by the Senate. In 1972 the 37^th president Richard M. Nixon was impeached for the “Watergate Case” and he retired from the presidential post.
