This is the year of the impeachment book.
President Eject
To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment by Laurence Tribe and Joshua Matz
The Constitution Demands It: The Case for the Impeachment of Donald Trump by Ron Fein, John Bonifaz, and Ben Clements
The Case For Impeachment by Allan Lichtman
How to Get Rid of a President: History’s Guide to Removing Unpopular, Unable, or Unfit Chief Executives by Elizabeth Holtzman, and former CIA officer David Priess
For some, impeachment is something toxic to be avoided at all costs. Reining in presidential misconduct can be achieved other ways, they assert. But I see impeachment as the grand and solemn tool that our Founders gave us to address whether a president should be removed from office. When the time is right, they meant for us to use the tool. It was designed to protect our democracy and to preserve the rule of law. I believed the time was right in 1974, and I believe the time is right once again...
Through design or improvisation, presidents have been (or can be) ousted by voters, rejected by their own parties, removed in place by opponents or subordinates, dismissed preemptively, displaced by death, taken out by force, declared unable to serve, or impeached and removed. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/npr/2018/11/12/667481602/president-eject/
