Left is going batshit crazy with "Trump is the only president whom a member of his own party in the Senate voted to remove!"

 

That's not the story.

The story is that GOP don't like removing presidents.

 

On May 16, 1868, the Senate voted 35 to 19 to remove President Andrew Johnson from office—one vote short of the necessary two-thirds. For many of these 54 senators, this was unquestionably the single most difficult vote of their congressional careers. Seven Republican senators—William Pitt Fessenden, James Grimes, Edmund Ross, Peter Van Winkle, John B. Henderson, Joseph Fowler, and Lyman Trumbull—courageously defied their party's leadership and voted with the 12 Democratic senators to acquit the president—thereby saving him and, possibly, the institution of the presidency.

 

10 R Senators voted to acquit Clinton.

 

So in both Johnson and Clinton, tried and acquitted, it was the GOP who refused to remove the President from office.
