July 27, 1974 –
All 21 Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee voted for the first article of impeachment against President Nixon.
Only 6 Republicans voted for it while 17 Republicans voted against it.
December 19, 1998 –
Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, President Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228-206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221-212 vote) entirely on party lines except for four Republicans and five Democrats.
In matters of keeping leadership under control it appears you can only expect justice and the American people to be served if you assume that the party with the most votes does so on the side of justice.
