"Tribe and Matz provide a fair, balanced, and relevant examination of an often misunderstood function of our national government."―Booklist
"Impeachment is a fearsome power. This bracing, restrained, and fiercely judicious account of the process's origins and purpose explains why no U.S. president has ever been removed from office by impeachment, and what it might mean if one were."―Jill Lepore, author of the forthcoming These Truths: A History of the United States
"'Impeachment is neither a magic wand nor a doomsday device.' So write Laurence Tribe and Joshua Matz in this deeply informed, even-handed look at how a president can be impeached and what the consequences would be. This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy in the Age of Trump."―Max Boot, senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations, and bestselling author of The Road Not Taken
