I asked ChatGPT this: how many presidents broke the law and this is how it responded.

Several U.S. presidents have been accused of breaking the law, though the extent and consequences of their actions vary. While none have been convicted of crimes in a court of law while in office, some have engaged in activities that were considered illegal, unethical, or unconstitutional. Here are a few notable examples:

  1. Richard Nixon (Watergate Scandal, 1970s)
    • Nixon was implicated in the Watergate scandal, involving illegal surveillance, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power. He resigned in 1974 before he could be impeached but was later pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
  2. Bill Clinton (Perjury and Obstruction of Justice, 1990s)
    • Clinton was impeached in 1998 for perjury and obstruction of justice related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He was acquitted by the Senate and completed his term.
  3. Andrew Johnson (Violation of the Tenure of Office Act, 1860s)
    • Johnson was impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act by attempting to remove his Secretary of War without Senate approval. He was acquitted by one vote in the Senate.
  4. Donald Trump (Multiple Legal Challenges, 2020s)
    • Trump was impeached twice—once for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress (related to Ukraine) and once for incitement of insurrection following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. He was acquitted both times by the Senate. He has also faced various civil and criminal investigations after leaving office.
  5. Warren G. Harding (Teapot Dome Scandal, 1920s)
    • Harding’s administration was marred by the Teapot Dome scandal, where officials were found guilty of accepting bribes for oil leases. Harding himself was not directly implicated, but his administration saw significant corruption.
