"Read this book and learn how best to protect our democracy." --Tom Steyer, NeedToImpeach.org
Constitutional attorneys cut through the partisan rhetoric to make a clear, concise case that the US Constitution has a solution for our current predicament, and they detail how to enact it.
"Impeachment is not a constitutional crisis. Impeachment is the cure for a constitutional crisis."
This book, written by a trio of veteran constitutional attorneys, details a short, concise argument that says the founding fathers foresaw the current American situation, and invented impeachment for exactly this scenario. They differ from others, such as Laurence Tribe, who rhetorically advocate prosecuting Donald Trump through the criminal justice system. Anticipating that the Democrats will take over Congress in the fall election, they provide a precise case for Congress to use as a handbook, including detailed articles of impeachment.
With a foreword by The Nation's John Nichols.
