Seven governors have been impeached and removed from office:
Willliam H. Holden (NC, 1871) Holden was removed after he sent a militia to quell violence by the Ku Klux Klan, and suspended the right of habeas corpus for accused Klan leaders.
David Butler (Neb, 1871) Butler was removed for misappropriating school funds, but the impeachment proceedings subsequently were expunged from the legislative record and in 1888 he was elected to another term as governor.

Thomas Jefferson, in some regard, was a prophet.
'When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .'
Thomas Jefferson
'The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.'
