The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has removed a temporary label referring to Donald Trump's impeachments from the exhibition 'The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden'. The removal was part of a review that revealed the need to update content, as many sections had not been revised since 2008. The label, initially added in 2021, was intended as a short-term update addressing current events. Trump's two impeachments, which resulted in Senate acquittals, highlighted discussions on presidential powers and accountability.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History removed a temporary label referring to President Trump's impeachments from 'The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden' exhibition.
The museum's spokesperson indicated that the section on 'Limits of Presidential Power' required attention, as other topics had not been updated since 2008.
The exhibition, unveiled in 2000, initially added a label discussing the impeachments of Trump, Johnson, Clinton, and Nixon, but was meant as a temporary addition.
Both of Trump's impeachments in 2019 and 2021 resulted in acquittals by the Senate, highlighting the ongoing discourse on presidential accountability.
