Multiple Choice
Why has impeachment been used in relatively few instances?
Our government is incredibly corrupt and all our officials work to keep each other from getting in trouble for their misdeeds against the American people.
All of our government officials are practically perfect and never do anything illegal.
We have other checks and balances that take care of most problems before they get that far - impeachment is a last resort.
Impeachment doesn't really work to stop those who have committed crimes in office.
