A Citizen's Guide to Impeachment

The 40-page guide, written in a question-and-answer format, discusses various aspects of impeachment, from the role of the House and Senate to the meaning of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to many questions that most commentators have not even considered (for example, whether the Senate can convict the President but choose not to remove him from office). Clearly written, the guide includes many examples from history, some of them colorful or amusing. People can either read the Guide straight through or can use it as a handy reference as particular questions arise. This new impeachment guide "presents timely material for citizens and journalists who are following the current process underway in the Congress," said consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
