Book excerpt: Is it the END TIMES for the TRUMP-ERA?This is what you've been waiting for.NOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS FOR PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT-REPORT BY THE MAJORITY STAFF OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY-COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH CONGRESSFIRST SESSIONThe House Judiciary Committee issued a historic report laying the groundwork to impeach President Donald Trump! They've outlined--in Constitutional terms--what the panel believes amounts to an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE! Chairman Jerrold Nadler described the analysis as the heir to the only similar report produced by the Judiciary Committee--the one created during the impeachment proceedings against RICHARD NIXON. (That document was merely updated during the Bill Clinton impeachment--not truly rewritten.)"The earlier reports remain useful points of reference, but no longer reflect the best available learning on questions relating to presidential impeachment. Further, they do not address several issues of constitutional law with particular relevance to the ongoing impeachment inquiry respecting President Donald J. Trump." - Jerrold Nadler, ChairmanIt's worth noting that this report was written entirely by DEMOCRATIC staff, unlike the Nixon-era iteration, which had some degree of bi-partisanhip. The Judiciary Committee's document draws on the historical effort by lawmakers to analyze and understand impeachment, that is, as the framers of the CONSTITUTION intended it. The committee's document is FILLED with citations of the FEDERALIST PAPERS, the Constitution and the debates at the Constitutional Convention. It also cites the famous Frost-Nixon interviews, modern case law and comments by Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton in the context of their own impeachment processes. Judiciary Report Highlights:"No President is entitled to persist in office after committing 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors,'" the report reads, "and no one who voted for him in the last election is entitled to expect he will do so.""A President who perverts his role as chief diplomat to serve private rather than public ends has unquestionably engaged in 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors' -- especially if he invited, rather than opposed, foreign interference in our politics.""The President is entitled to present a full defense, at trial in the Senate. It is thus in the Senate, and not in the House, where the President might properly raise certain protections associated with trials." "There is no power in the Constitution that a President can exercise immune from legal consequence. The existence of any such unchecked and uncheckable authority in the federal government would offend the bedrock principle that nobody is above the law. [T]he exact forms of Presidential wrongdoing that they discussed in Philadelphia could be committed through use of executive powers, and it is unthinkable that the Framers left the Nation defenseless in such cases."NOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY!

Download or read book A Citizen s Guide to Impeachment written by Barbara Radnofsky and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A non-partisan guide to a precise understanding of the rules and history of impeachment . . . Spotlighting in particular the precise rules of impeachment—including an explanation of the crucial grounds for impeachment, the famous “high crimes and misdemeanors”—the book also details its origins in British law, the rules as set out by the founding fathers in the Constitution, and their application throughout the history of our democracy. That history involves a detailed chronology of the nineteen instances of impeachment that have taken place—of judges, presidents, and officials from the cabinet and congress—throughout American history, including the very first impeachment conviction of an America official: that of a federal judge who seemed to have developed dementia. All of which makes A Citizen’s Guide to Impeachment a fascinating read about a unique aspect of our democracy, as well as a useful, one-of-a-kind guide for citizens in a participatory government.
Download or read book Impeachment written by Cass R. Sunstein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With insight, wisdom, affection, and concern, Sunstein has written the story of impeachment every citizen needs to know. This is a remarkable, essential book.” —Doris Kearns Goodwin No one is above the law, not even the president. Impeachment is the most potent tool the founders gave us to ensure it, and yet few of us even know how it works. As Benjamin Franklin famously put it, Americans have a republic, if we can keep it. Preserving the Constitution and the democratic system it supports is the public's responsibility. One route the Constitution provides for discharging that duty--a route rarely traveled--is impeachment. Expanding beyond violations of the law, impeachment was meant to defend against any action that would undermine the foundations of our republic. Harvard Law professor Cass R. Sunstein provides a succinct citizen's guide to this essential tool of self-government. Taking us deeper than mere partisan politics, he illuminates the constitutional design behind impeachment and emphasizes the people's role in holding presidents accountable. In spite of the loud national debate over whether or not the House is right to impeach Trump, impeachment itself remains widely misunderstood. Sunstein identifies and corrects a number of common misconceptions, and describes how impeachment helps is an essential piece of our constitutional order, and a crucial part of the framers' decision to install an empowered executive in a nation deeply fearful of kings. With an eye toward the past and the future, Impeachment: A Citizen's Guide considers a host of actual and imaginable arguments for a president's removal, explaining why some cases are easy and others hard, why some arguments for impeachment have been judicious and others not. And with an afterword and appendix on the current impeachment, it puts the national debate in its proper historical context. In direct and approachable terms, it is a guide through the treacherous waters of the impeachment process so that Americans of all political convictions may use their ultimate civic authority wisely.

Book excerpt: The little understood yet great power of impeachment lodged in the Congress is dissected in this text through history by Raoul Berger, a leading scholar on the subject. He sheds new light on whether impeachment is limited to indictable crimes, on whether there is jurisdiction to impeach for misconduct outside office, and on whether impeachment must precede indictment. Berger also finds firm footing in contesting the views of one-time Judge Robert Bork and President Nixon's lawyer, James St Clair.
Download or read book Impeachment What Everyone Needs to Know written by Michael J. Gerhardt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impeachment: What Everyone Needs to Know® is the step back and deep reflection on the law of impeachment that everyone needs now. Written in an accessible and lively question-and-answer format, it offers a timely explanation of the impeachment process from its very meaning to its role in politics today. The book defines the scope of impeachable offenses, and how the Constitution provides alternative procedures and sanctions for addressing misconduct in office. It explains why the only two presidential impeachments, those of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, failed to lead to conviction, and how the impeachments of federal judges illuminate the law and politics of the process. As a legal expert and the only joint witness in the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton, author Michael J. Gerhardt also explores a question frequently asked-will Donald Trump be impeached? This book does not take a side in the debate over the possible impeachment of the president; instead, it is a primer for anyone eager to learn about impeachment's origins, practices, limitations, and alternatives.

Download or read book The Federal Impeachment Process written by Michael J. Gerhardt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As President Trump and Congressional Democrats battle over the findings of the Mueller report, talk of impeachment is in the air. But what are the grounds for impeaching a sitting president? Who is subject to impeachment? Is impeachment effective as a safeguard against presidential misconduct? What challenges does today’s highly partisan political climate pose to the impeachment process, and what, if any, meaningful alternatives are there for handling presidential misconduct? For more than twenty years, The Federal Impeachment Process has served as the most complete analysis of the constitutional and legal issues raised in every impeachment proceeding in American history. Impeachment, Michael J. Gerhardt shows, is an inherently political process designed to expose and remedy political crimes—serious breaches of duty or injuries to the Republic. Subject neither to judicial review nor to presidential veto, it is a unique congressional power that involves both political and constitutional considerations, including the gravity of the offense charged, the harm to the constitutional order, and the link between an official’s misconduct and duties. For this third edition, Gerhardt updates the book to cover cases since President Clinton, as well as recent scholarly debates. He discusses the issues arising from the possible impeachment of Donald Trump, including whether a sitting president may be investigated, prosecuted, and convicted for criminal misconduct or whether impeachment and conviction in Congress is the only way to sanction a sitting president; what the “Emoluments Clause” means and whether it might provide the basis for the removal of the president; whether gross incompetence may serve as the basis for impeachment; and the extent to which federal conflicts of interest laws apply to the president and other high ranking officials. Significantly updated, this book will remain the standard work on the federal impeachment process for years to come.
