Clay orders that John Tyler be kicked out of the Whig Party. The president is branded a traitor. Senator Clay’s declaration is sent to newspapers throughout America. Clay and the Whigs then demand that Tyler resign the presidency. He refuses. But Clay is not done. One year later, as John Tyler vetoes yet another bill endorsed by the Whigs, Congress begins the first proceedings to impeach a president. But there are not enough votes to do that. So, Henry Clay is forced to settle for a simple censure attempt by the Congress.
