Ford Confirmation Sparks Impeachment Debate In Congress
The impeachment surge follows Archibald Cox firing as Judiciary Committee begins a preliminary inquiry. Democrats weigh delaying Ford’s confirmation while Connally argues a delay would split the nation. Impeachment conviction would need two thirds of the Senate, unlikely with GOP votes before Ford’s fate is decided. If Ford is approved, GOP lawmakers may face a choice between an unpopular Nixon and a popular Congress.

A 10 mill tax hike for 30 years could retire the bonds, while negotiations with HCA continue for a new facility. The project hinges on securing a state certificate of need.
