• W2912152583 abstract "The power of impeachment under the U.S. Constitution was intended, and designed, to be formidable – a potent check, in the hands of Congress, on believed misuse of power and other misconduct by members of the executive and judicial branches of government. The framing generation well understood that presidential impeachments would, by their very nature, be political proceedings conducted by political bodies exercising political judgment about the public wrongfulness of a President’s asserted misconduct. Built into that reality, the framers recognized, was the danger that presidential impeachments in particular could become events more about partisan loyalties than the merits of impeachable wrongdoing. In their recent book on impeachment, Professor Laurence Tribe and attorney Joshua Matz have much of value to say and get a lot of things right: that the power of impeachment is broad and not limited to criminal-law offenses (though it can reach those as well, including serious offenses like perjury and obstruction of justice); that impeachable wrongs can include conduct unrelated to performing the duties of office; that the power is committed to the constitutional judgment of the two house of Congress, not the judiciary; that impeachment is a vital part of the Constitution’s separation of powers; and that the power ought not to be interpreted or applied in a low-political partisan fashion. But the book suffers from two major flaws: it is itself rather badly partisan in both its presentation and in its manipulation of constitutional criteria for impeachment; and it is predominantly strategic in its orientation – concerned more with politics than with constitutional principle. The impeachment power embraces the conduct of Donald Trump, the authors (rightly) argue. But it also should have led to serious consideration of impeachment of Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush, they argue (much less plausibly). On the other hand, the authors argue that the impeachment of Bill Clinton was “contemptible,” constitutionally indefensible, destabilizing to democracy, and explainable only as partisan spite. Many readers will find it hard to avoid the conclusion that the authors’ criteria (and their application) seem gerrymandered to match their political preferences. This critical review examines two large questions concerning the relationship between the constitutional power of impeachment and the constitutional politics of its application: First, what is the full scope of the constitutional power of impeachment – to what types of misconduct does the power properly extend? Second, what factors properly inform the constitutional judgment of Congress as to the power’s exercise – how does one avoid the problem, anticipated by the framers, of the political process of impeachment deteriorating into bare partisanship? The review argues that Tribe and Matz get the answers to both questions wrong." @default.
