3.5
“This book, written in a world where Trump is president, focuses its attention on the historical background of the concept of impeachment, starting from the Framers and its conception, and going through notable historic instances of impeachment and impeachment talk. The authors do a great job of providing a framework for how impeachment works and the significance it holds. While the authors do acknowledge modern conceptions and talks of impeachment surrounding Trump, and they do discuss how impeachment relates to Trump's presidency throughout the book, they also take great pains to focus on the overall, general process of impeachment and how it has functioned historically, rather than solely directing the book towards impeachment and Trump. They provide a good balance between the historical context, modern discussions, and what the future might hold in terms of the presidency and impeachment. They remain realistic and cautiously hopeful in regards to modern politics and the future; they write, "This is an unsettling and unhappy story about a democracy in distress. But it's a story whose end we can still rewrite."”
