Organization
editThe organization of this article is confusing, and appears to have some content in the wrong sections. The section Presidents who, after a formal investigation, were not impeached includes John Tyler, Harry Truman, and Ronald Reagan, does not mention any actual formal investigation. Introduction of a resolution does not constitute an investigation, and a resolution referring the matter to the Judiciary Committee which takes no action does not necessarily mean that there was an investigation.
It would make more sense to combine this section with the next, under a simpler heading, and listing the matters in chronological order. Kablammo (talk) 01:02, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

"Presidents who, after a formal investigation, were not impeached"
editI don't believe, except for Buchanan, any of the presidents listed here had formal impeachment investigations against them. This needs to be fixed. SecretName101 (talk) 04:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
