To limit executive power, the Founding Fathers created fixed
presidential terms of four years, giving voters regular
opportunities to remove their leaders. Americans also discovered
more dramatic paths for disempowering--or coming razor-close to
removing--chief executives: undermining the president's authority,
a preemptive strike to derail a presidential candidacy,
assassination, impeachment, resignation, and declaration of
inability. Although the United States has gone decades without
assassination or resignation, the most dramatic forms of
presidential removal, getting rid of a president or a potential
president is a political reality-just ask not president Hillary
Clinton. How To Get Rid of a President presents the dark side of
the nation's history, from the Constitutional Convention through
the aftermath of the shocking 2016 election, a stew of election
dramas, national tragedies and presidential exits mixed with party
intrigue, political betrayal and backroom scheming. It is a briskly
paced, darkly humorous voyage through historical events relevant to
today's headlines, highlighting the many ways that presidents have
been undermined and nearly kicked out, how each method of removal
offers opportunities and dangers for the republic and the thorny
ethical issues that surround the choice to resist, disobey, or
eject a president.
