Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty
years of presidential elections, makes the case for impeaching the
45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Impeachment
will 'proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other
words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust,' and 'they
relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.
' (Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist, 1788) Professor Allan J.
Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential
elections, makes the case for impeaching the 45th president of the
United States, Donald J. Trump In the fall of 2016, Distinguished
Professor of History at American University Allan Lichtman made
headlines when he predicted that Donald J. Trump would defeat
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.
The Case for Impeachment also offers a fascinating look at
presidential impeachments throughout American history, including
the often-overlooked story of Andrew Johnson's impeachment, details
about Richard Nixon's resignation, and Bill Clinton's hearings.
Lichtman shows how Trump exhibits many of the flaws (and more) that
have doomed past presidents. As the Nixon Administration dismissed
the reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as 'character
assassination' and 'a vicious abuse of the journalistic process,'
Trump has attacked the 'dishonest media,' claiming, 'the press
should be ashamed of themselves.' Historians, legal scholars, and
politicians alike agree: we are in politically uncharted waters.
The durability of institutions is being undermined and the public's
confidence in them is eroding, threatening American democracy
itself. The world wants to know where the United States is headed.
Lichtman argues, with clarity and power, that for Donald Trump's
presidency, smoke has become fire.
