Ten Questions Page Ten questions about the book: The Nixon-Clinton Impeachment: A New Constitutional Theory |
This page links to answers for ten questions related to both the Constitutional theory of the book, and the context of this theory in both the Nixon-Clinton impeachment, and in current events. The answers to these questions include excerpts from the book.
Question One: What is a quick summary of the Constitutional theory advanced in the book?
Question Two: How is this theory different from the current understanding of the Constitution's provisions for impeachment and removal from office?
Question Three: Is there a quick argument to show the theory might be right?
Question Four: Suppose this theory is right. Why is it important?
Question Five: How much do I need to read to be able to tell if this theory is right?
Question Six: Did the Constitutional Convention really intend for a Judiciary court to cause removal from office?
Question Seven: If this theory is correct, what does it mean for office-holders other than the President?
Question Eight: Does anyone else think any Federal office-holder can be removed from office in a way other than impeachment?
Question Nine: Why is the book called the Nixon-Clinton impeachment? Aren't these two impeachment proceedings separate events, 25 years apart?
Question Ten: Even if Clinton did something wrong, wasn't his wrongdoing too trivial to require removal from office?
