It is still striking to see the full argument unfold and realize that you don't have to be a zealot to imagine some version of it happening...Lies. Abuse of power. Treason. Crimes against humanity. Martial law. Lichtman throws everything Trump's way.. --Washington Post
In The Case for Impeachment, Distinguished Professor of History at American University Allan J. Lichtman illuminates exactly how the impeachment of President Trump might work by showing how his actions--past or future--make him uniquely vulnerable to impeachment proceedings. From his dealings with Russia, to his conflicts of interest at home and abroad, to the numerous civil suits involving him, Lichtman zeroes in on Mr. Trump's key areas of weakness.
Professor Lichtman also offers a fascinating look at presidential impeachments throughout American history, including the often-overlooked story of Andrew Johnson's impeachment, little known details about Richard Nixon's resignation, as well as Bill Clinton's hearings.
Many historians and legal scholars agree that we are facing uncharted political waters and most citizens--politics aside--want to know where the country is headed. Professor Lichtman has correctly predicted every Presidential election since 1984, including the election of 2016. Now, he is focusing on the 45th President of the United States, demonstrating his view that it is not a question of if President Trump will be impeached, but a question of when.
