Jackson is the only president to be censured and you are right, more have been impeached than censured since Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are the only two impeached and Andrew Jackson was the only one censured. If we get a congressional majority in the midterms this fall and the censure passes then the censure will have worked. Even if we pass the censure now, it is only technical. I want it to work but censuring hte president really will be a symbolic act of Congress, only if the Democrats gain the Congress back in November then will it be meaningful.
