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)
In The Case for Impeachment, Professor Lichtman lays out the reasons why Congress removing Donald J. Trump has become a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’. Shedding some light on the consequences of his ties with Russia before and after the election, complicated financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad and abuse of executive authority, this is an authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the most controversial presidency since Richard Nixon.
‘Lichtman has written what may be the most important book of the year’ The Hill
‘Important … Lichtman beautifully tells the story of the use of Impeachment’ Washington Book Review
‘Lichtman's powerful book is a reminder that we are only at the start of the Trump investigations. The US system takes a long time to gather speed. Once it does, it can be hard to stop’ Financial Times
‘You need to read ‘The Case for Impeachment’, a brilliant analysis of every fraudulent act committed by the child in the White House’ Counterpunch
‘[Lichtman's] book is a pretty substantial case for why Donald Trump should not have been president at all…’The Case for Impeachment’ is a good backdrop for conversations that will likely remain a part of our national dialogue for some time’ New York Journal of Books
‘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
