    "How could this happen? Why did this happen? Mr. Knox, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Why did the news leak out even though I have asked the government to regulate the major media?" Taft  The president roared angrily at Secretary of State Philander Knox, with a look like a ferocious beast that wanted to eat people.

    "Your Excellency, I don't know either! According to the information sent by the New York City Government, they were fooled by the guys from the New York Times. The newspaper submitted for review by the New York Times yesterday is different from the newspaper found this morning.  Same, they deceived us!" Secretary of State Philander Knox said a little aggrievedly. He did not expect that such a thing would happen, that the boss of the New York Times would be so bold and dare to go against the government.

    "Assholes! Those sons of bitches. Where are the military police? What do they do for food now? Why not arrest the people from the New York Times and put them all in jail!" President Taft said angrily.

    "Your Excellency, although you can issue such an order, I advise you not to do so. If the military police arrest people from the New York Times, it will undoubtedly intensify the current conflict." Philander Knox persuaded  .

    By this time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the White House. They were holding slogans and shouting slogans into the White House, blocked by White House guards.  Most of these people are Theodore.  Organized by Roosevelt's Progressive Party, they gathered together last night. After the New York Times ignited the anger of the American people, they immediately came to the White House to demonstrate against President Taft and the government.

    "Those who deceive the people, get out of the White House!" the demonstrators shouted loudly, and the sound reached the White House.

    President Taft had no hearing problems, so he could hear the voices of the demonstrators clearly.  However, after hearing these voices, his face became even more gloomy, as if water could drip from his face.

    Soon, other cabinet members of the Taft administration also rushed to the White House.

    Because the main entrance of the White House has been blocked by demonstrators, they can only enter through the back door.  Everyone's expressions were a little unnatural, and some people had frightened expressions in their eyes.  They all knew that the Taft government was in big trouble this time, and they might end up with Taft.  The current situation is already very unfavorable for the Taft administration. Demonstrations against Taft have broken out almost across the United States.  And Congress was also taking action, making Taft's resignation almost inevitable.

    "Your Excellency, according to the latest news we have received, Your Excellency Theodore Roosevelt has reached an agreement with the big bosses in the party. The Progressive Party will merge with the Republican Party, and the Republican Party will fully support Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy for the next term.  President. Moreover, the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties called on members of Congress to initiate a motion of no confidence in the President." Secretary of the Interior Richard. finally entered President Taft's office.  Achilles.  Barringer brought Taft the worst possible news.

    "Damn it! How could they do this?" President Taft cursed. He felt like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.  The reason why he had the confidence to talk to Theodore before.  Roosevelt's fight for the party's nomination relied on the support of party bosses and big capitalists.  But he never expected that in the blink of an eye those party bosses and big capitalists would abandon him and support Theodore.  Roosevelt.

    The expressions of other people in the office also changed. The Republican Party was adding insult to injury. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to President Taft.  Originally, President Taft might still have the power to fight back, but now that he has lost the support of the Republican Party, President Taft is doomed to fail.

    President Taft¡¯s eyes were also filled with despair, but it was quickly replaced by a look of madness.  He didn't want to step down, but he was ousted in this way, becoming the second president to be impeached in American history.  He may even be the first president to be impeached and removed from office!

    The first president to be impeached and removed from office was the 17th President Andrew.  Johnson, who was the president after Lincoln, became president after Lincoln was assassinated and took a series of reactionary measures to "rebuild the South."  In 1865, he issued an amnesty declaration, pardoning southern planters who had directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion, restoring all their rights to black slaves except ownership, and recovering property confiscated in the Civil War.  Then, he issued seven consecutive "Reconstruction of the South" proclamations to the rebel states in the south, the contents of which were beneficial to the former southern slave owners.  With Johnson's connivance, the southern slave planters continued to carry out restoration movements, which seriously threatened the rule of the northern bourgeoisie.  At that time, the U.S. Congress was basically controlled by anti-restoration Republican radicals, so they used the legislative body to carry out a series of presidential impeachment campaigns.  In February 1868, the House of Representatives passed a bill to impeach John with a 23 majority!Xun.  The charges proposed by the House of Representatives to impeach Johnson included one of the main charges being that he violated the Official Office Act and conspired to plan a counterrevolutionary rebellion.  In March of the same year, he was tried by the Senate. He was not present at the time. The result was 35 votes in favor and 19 votes against. Only one vote did not reach the 23 majority agreement, so he was declared not guilty.  Although he "retired unscathed," his prestige was ruined. He was the first president in U.S. history to face an impeachment trial.

    "This is war time, Congress has adjourned, and all power belongs to the government. No one can oust me before my term is over!" President Taft said firmly.

    Everyone else looked at Taft in astonishment, not expecting him to say this.  You know, with the opposition of most congressmen and the public, Taft's presidential position is not stable no matter what.  In their view, if President Taft did not want to be kicked out of the White House in embarrassment, he should take the initiative to resign.  But I didn't expect President Taft to still want to persist.  You know, if you fail, you may be ruined.

    "Your Excellency, don't you think about it again? Now every corner of the United States is against us. We'd better resign!" Secretary of State Philander Knox suggested.

    "No, I won't be defeated by them so easily. Minister Barringer ordered the military police to impose martial law and disperse the mob that besieged the government. Minister Dickinson gave the order to the army. If the situation becomes uncontrollable, the army will be responsible for ensuring that  Stability of America!" President Taft ordered.

    Interior Minister Richard.  Achilles.  Barringer and Secretary of War Jacob M.T. Dickinson hesitated, but under President Taft's majestic gaze, they nodded.  However, they no longer have the slightest confidence in whether they can control the situation.

    Afterwards, at the request of President Taft, Secretary of State Knox delivered a speech to the public, claiming that the news published in the New York Times was false and was taken by people with ulterior motives prepared to subvert the rule of the United States and cause chaos to the United States.  conspiracy.  Fortunately for him, people believe in the government, go home, and don't be used by those conspirators.

    The government¡¯s statement convinced some Americans, but most Americans did not. They believed the government was continuing to deceive them.

    At this time, former President Theodore.  Roosevelt gave a speech in New York. He first apologized to the people because his ignorance of people allowed Taft to become the president of the United States and led to the current situation.  However, he assured the people that he will definitely find a way to solve the current predicament. As long as the people give him and the Republican Party a chance, they will be able to lead the United States out of the current predicament.

    Theodore.  Roosevelt's prestige among the people was very high. His speech won the support of many Americans, especially those who supported the Republican Party, and even claimed to be a tribute to Theodore.  Roosevelt a chance to save America.  You know, in Theodore.  During the period when Roosevelt was president of the United States, the United States experienced its fastest development.  Therefore, his words of standing up to clean up the mess gave many Americans hope.

    Theodore.  Roosevelt's statement made President Taft very dissatisfied. However, in view of Theodore.  Roosevelt's prestige among the American people, but he could not match Theodore.  Roosevelt took steps or he would have faced greater trouble.  As for sending someone to assassinate Theodore.  Roosevelt, that's even more impossible.  Theodore, who regained the support of the Republican Party.  The security force around Roosevelt has been greatly strengthened, even tighter than the security around him as the President of the United States, and he wants to assassinate Theodore.  Roosevelt, there is no hope. On the contrary, if the matter is revealed, he will be even more unable to live in vain.

    But, Theodore.  If Roosevelt wants to drive President Taft out of the White House and re-enter the White House, it will not be easy. He still has a strong opponent to face, and that is the Democratic presidential candidate Woodrow.  wilson.  Faced with such an opponent, Theodore.  Roosevelt chose to go with Woodrow.  Wilson talked secretly, or rather with Woodrow.  Wilson's Democratic Party.

    On the evening of March 31st, Theodore.  Roosevelt and Woodrow.  Wilson met Theodore in an estate in the suburbs of New York.  Roosevelt hoped to gain the support of the Democratic Party at the cost of giving up some of his interests, making it easier for him to win the White House.

    "Mr. Wilson, the United States is now facing a serious crisis. There is the invasion of the Chinese outside and Taft's brutal rule inside. I believe that at this time our two parties can put aside their differences and work together to get rid of the current crisis!" Theodore.  Roosevelt said with sincerity!
