About this book

Impeachment: The Constitutional Problems (Studies in legal history) by Berger, Raoul. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780674444751.

The little understood yet volcanic power of impeachment lodged in the Congress is dissected through history by the nations leading legal scholar on the subject. Berger offers authoritative insight into "high crimes and misdemeanors." He sheds new light on whether impeachment is limited to indictable crimes, on whether there is jurisdiction to impeach for misconduct outside of office, and on whether impeachment must precede indictment. In an addition to the book, Berger finds firm footing in contesting the views of one-time Judge Robert Bork and President Nixons lawyer, James St. Clair.
