Description
Using primary documents from all federal impeachments, including those for members of congress, the judiciary, and the cabinet as well as the president, Van Tassel and Finkelman evaluate what has and what has not constitued an impeachable offense, from the proceedings against Senator William Blount in 1797 to that of President Clinton in 1998. They also touch on congress' occasional attempts to use censure to tut-tut an official.
