The Smithsonian has temporarily removed references to Trump’s impeachments from the exhibit ‘Limits of Presidential Power’.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has removed references to President Donald Trump’s two impeachment proceedings from an exhibit on the “Limits of Presidential Power.” The museum decided to “restore” the section of a permanent exhibition to its “2008 appearance” because various topics had not been updated since that year. Trump is the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice. The exhibit now only includes references to the impeachment proceedings against Presidents Andrew Johnson in 1868, Richard Nixon in 1973, and Bill Clinton in 1998. Nixon is the only U.S. president to resign following the commencement of impeachment proceedings. The Smithsonian released a statement on Jan. 21, 2020, about the collection of objects regarding Trump’s impeachment. The museum installed a temporary label on content concerning the impeachments of Donald J. Trump in Sept. 2021, which remained in place until July 2025. A future and updated exhibit will include all presidential impeachments. The Smithsonian affirmed its autonomy from outside influences in a June 9 statement after President Trump announced that he fired National Portrait Gallery head Kim Sajet for allegedly being a “highly partisan person.”
