Object Details

Impeachment was in the news when Time magazine put Majority Leader Tip O’Neill on its cover in 1974, soon after the start of the second session of the 93rd Congress. As the Watergate scandal turned into a full-blown crisis, O’Neill stated the leadership’s position: “In their anger and exasperation, the people have turned to the House of Representatives,” he said in a floor speech. “The case must be referred to the Judiciary Committee for speedy and expeditious consideration.”
