The spokesperson said a future exhibit will include all presidential impeachments.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The museum decided to &#8220;restore&#8221; the section of a permanent exhibition to its &#8220;2008 appearance&#8221; because various topics had not been updated since that year and therefore they removed references to Trump, the Smithsonian spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Trump is the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the &#8216;Limits of Presidential Power&#8217; section in The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden exhibition needed to be addressed. The section of this exhibition covers Congress, The Supreme Court, Impeachment, and Public Opinion,&#8221; the spokesperson said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">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.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">While serving as the 45th President of the United States, Trump was first impeached twice by Congress during his first term – with the first proceeding beginning on Dec. 18, 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction in connection with an alleged quid pro quo call with the Ukrainian president. Trump was acquitted when the trial concluded in the Senate on Feb. 5, 2020.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Trump was impeached for a second time on Jan. 13, 2021, on the charge of incitement of insurrection, but was again <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-donald-trump-acquitted/story?id=75853994">acquitted on Feb. 13, 2021, days after he left office</a> after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Trump denied all wrongdoing in both of his impeachment cases.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Following Trump&#8217;s first impeachment proceeding, the Smithsonian released a <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.si.edu/newsdesk/releases/statement-collecting-objects-regarding-impeachment-president">statement</a> on Jan. 21, 2020, about the collection of objects regarding Trump&#8217;s impeachment.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The statement said that as the Smithsonian&#8217;s National Museum of American History &#8220;actively engages,&#8221; with history, curators are following Trump&#8217;s impeachment trial and will determine &#8220;which objects best represent these historic events for inclusion in the national collection.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Smithsonian spokesperson on Thursday said the museum &#8220;installed a temporary label on content concerning the impeachments of Donald J. Trump&#8221; in Sept. 2021, which was &#8220;intended to be a short-term measure to address current events at the time, however, the label remained in place until July 2025.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;A large permanent gallery like The American Presidency that opened in 2000, requires a significant amount of time and funding to update and renew. A future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments,&#8221; the spokesperson added, in explaining the removal of Trump references.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">An online description of the exhibit of the Smithsonian&#8217;s <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://americanhistory.si.edu/explore/exhibitions/american-presidency/online/foundations/limits/impeachment">website</a> still referenced Trump&#8217;s two impeachments as of Friday morning.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The removal of references of Trump&#8217;s impeachments was first reported by <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2025/07/31/trump-impeachment-smithsonian/">The Washington Post</a> on Thursday. The report cited &#8220;a person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly,&#8221; who told the Post that &#8220;the change came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;Throughout its history, the Smithsonian has been governed and administered by a Board of Regents and a Secretary. The board is entrusted with the governance and independence of the Institution, and the board appoints a Secretary to manage the Institution. All personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the Secretary, with oversight by the Board. Lonnie G. Bunch, the Secretary, has the support of the Board of Regents in his authority and management of the Smithsonian,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;The Board of Regents is committed to ensuring that the Smithsonian is a beacon of scholarship free from political or partisan influence, and we recognize that our institution can and must do more to further these foundational values,&#8221; the Smithsonian added.</p>
