Requests:  0 Summary:  "Four experts on the American presidency review the only three impeachment cases from history--against Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton--and explore its power and meaning for today. Impeachment is rare, and for good reason. Designed to check tyrants or defend the nation from a commander-in-chief who refuses to do so, the process of impeachment outlined in the Constitution is what Thomas Jefferson called "the most formidable weapon for the purpose of a dominant faction that was ever contrived." It nullifies the will of voters, the basic foundation of legitimacy for all representative democracies. Only three times has a president's conduct led to such political disarray as to warrant his potential removal from office, transforming a political crisis into a constitutional one... These three cases highlight factors beyond the president's behavior that impact the likelihood and outcome of an impeachment: the president's relationship with Congress, the power and resilience of the office itself, and the polarization of the moment. This is a realist, rather than hypothetical, view of impeachment that looks to history for clues about its future--with one obvious candidate in mind"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 342.068 Im Checked In Add Copy to MyList
