Impeachment process: How to remove a president from office…

The Case for Impeachment by [Lichtman, Allan J.]The Case for Impeachment

by Allan J. Lichtman

4.4 stars – 185 reviews

Kindle price: $9.99

What are the ranges and limitations of presidential authority? What are the standards of truthfulness that a president must uphold? What will it take to impeach Donald J. Trump? Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential outcomes, answers these questions, and more, in The Case for Impeachment—a deeply convincing argument for impeaching the 45th president of the United States.

In the fall of 2016, Allan J. Lichtman made headlines when he predicted that Donald J. Trump would defeat the heavily favored Democrat, Hillary Clinton, to win the presidential election. Now, in clear, nonpartisan terms, Lichtman lays out the reasons Congress could remove Trump from the Oval Office: his ties to Russia before and after the election, the complicated financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and his abuse of executive authority…

Impeachment: An American History by [Meacham, Jon, Naftali, Timothy, Baker, Peter, Engel, Jeffrey A.]Impeachment: An American History

by Jon Meacham, Timothy Naftali, Peter Baker and Jeffrey A. Engel

4.5 stars – 30 reviews

Kindle price: $13.99

Four experts on the American presidency examine the three times impeachment has been invoked—against Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton—and explain what it means today.
