This Congress impeached Navarro and convicted him
Republicans were blamed for the conviction of Navarro, especially among Latino voters, many saw it as a power grab to elevate the republican Romney to the presidency, and it resulted in a 44 year span of no republican presidents, and a minority of power in Congress for a long amount of time as well.
