Answer:

Both were veterans of the War of 1812.

Both led US troops in Mexico.

Both ran for president of the United States as members of the Whig Party

Explanation:

The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

Inessa [10]

Answer: Impeachment

Explanation:

Congress can remove a President from office if there is a belief amongst lawmakers that the President is no longer fit to hold power.

The House of Representatives will vote to impeach the president and if a majority vote for the impeachment, the President will be impeached after which the process passes to the Senate which then holds a trial and votes on removing the President.

If two-thirds of the Senate present votes to remove the President, the President will be removed from power.
