Did Thomas Jefferson shoot a man for treason on the White House lawn?

Yes. It is true. During Jefferson's presidential administration, Rodney Cox, from North Carolina was discovered in the act of providing former Tories with information regarding the American naval forces capability to secure American shores. After a brief ad hoc trial, Cox was convicted and sentenced to death by firing squad. Jefferson, being a notorious Anglophobic at the time, served as the sole member of the firing squad. With a single bullet dispatched from a flint lock rifle, Cox received a fatal wound. It took 10 hours for Cox to expire, during which he lay prostrate on the White House lawn. Afterwards, he was committed to the sea in a right proper burial, albeit, without any fanfare.

Andrew Johnson and Slick Willie Clinton.  Neither was convicted.  \n\nNixon was never impeached.  He resigned under the threat thereof.

he can be impeached for high crimes and mistemeaners. So there would have to be a specific charge.  If he was given erroneous information and he thought it to be true, then it is not a lie.

Ben Franklin was a shrewd politican.  That almost certainly means he lied on a regular basis.

Dolly Madison.\n\nBritish troops burned the White House on the night of August 24-25, 1814. Most historical accounts reveal that they took pleasure in setting fire to the structure that represented a former colony and upstart nation. Although Dolley Madison fled the White House only hours earlier, taking with her state papers, important pieces of silver and the ultimate symbol of the country, the full length portrait of George Washington, she had expected to serve dinner to 40 military and cabinet officers accompanied by her husband. Instead, the British troops consumed the meal. They looted the house and then set fire to it. All that remained were the scorched sandstone walls. Although the Madisons would never live in the White House again, they were committed to the reconstruction of the house and to the resurrection of it as a symbol of the republic.

efferson died on the Fourth of July, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the same day as John Adams' death. Thomas Jefferson was in very high debt when he died. His possessions were sold at an auction on Monticello. In 1831 Jefferson's 552 acres were sold for $7,000 to James T. Barclay. In 1836 Barclay sold the estate and 218 acres of land to the United States Navy Lieutenant Uriah P. Levy for $2,700. Levy then bought the surrounding land and started to purchase original furnishings. Lieutenant Levy is called "the Savior of Monticello" because of this. Levy died in 1862 as a result of the Civil War. In his will, he left the Monticello to the United States to be used as a school for orphans of navy officers. Thomas Jefferson is buried on his Monticello estate. His epitaph, written by him with an insistence that only his words and "not a word more" be inscribed, reads:\n\n    Here was buried\n    Thomas Jefferson\n    Author of the Declaration of American Independence\n    of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom\n    & Father of the University of Virginia

Yes so, look at "Donny Brasco". His name was Joe Pistone undercover plant, and the story is true. Joe Pistone was a snitch, just like Jack Abbarmoff is going to snitch on Bush & Cheney to get them impeached.

It was an act of treason.  Had the colonist lost the Revolutionary War those men certainly would have been rounded up and hanged.  We called these men Patriots.  In England, they were considered traitors.

He was a target of the plot.  He definitely did not participate in the plot.  \n\nFrom one bio:\n "[Stanton] had a continuing concern for the President's safety and the inadequacy of his security arrangements. He tried to keep President Lincoln from going to the theater on April 14, 1865 by ordering one of his subordinates, Major Thomas Eckert, not to accompany the Lincolns. After Mr. Lincoln died, Stanton announced: "Now he belongs to the ages." Stanton organized the response to Lincoln's assassination, the pursuit of assassin John Wilkes Booth, and the prosecution of the assassination conspiracists."

Benedict Arnold (January 14, 1741 – June 14, 1801) was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He is best known for an act of treason against the United States — plotting to surrender the American fort at West Point, New York to the British. Arnold had distinguished himself as a hero of the revolution early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery at Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 and at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Arnold strongly opposed the decision by the Continental Congress to form an alliance with France, having experienced a bitter defeat at the hands of the French and their Indian allies during the French and Indian War (1754–1763).\n\nDisaffected due to grievances with the Continental Congress and the military, suffering from mounting personal debt, and facing corruption charges filed by the Pennsylvania civil authorities, Arnold also faced pressure at home from his young second wife, a British Loyalist. In 1780, he formulated his infamous scheme. If successful, this would have given British forces control of the Hudson River valley and split the colonies in half. The plot was thwarted, but Arnold managed to flee to England, where he was rewarded with a commission as a Brigadier General in the British Army along with a reduced award of £6,000 sterling.
