Description: High Crimes and Misdemeanors by Frank O. Bowman III This book combines historical and constitutional analysis of impeachment in the UK and US with a lively new account of both Trump impeachments by a leading scholar whose writings and advice were influential in both cases. This second edition is the only comprehensive, up-to-date history of Anglo-American impeachment. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This indispensable work traces impeachment from its bloody origins in medieval England, to its adoption in the Constitution, and through 250 years of American experience culminating in the two impeachments of Donald Trump. Frank O. Bowman III tells the stories, human and political, of nobles, commoners, colonists, judges, legislators, cabinet officers, and Presidents who have faced impeachment. He demonstrates that the practice was designed to be a flexible tool, informed by history, and adaptable to the needs of any age. The first edition was read by Democrats and Republicans and cited extensively by the advocates in both Trump impeachments. In this second edition, Bowman expands the first editions deep historical and constitutional analysis. He also draws on his involvement in both Trump impeachments as a congressional consultant and frequent commentator, to assess Trumps aberrant presidency, his impeachments, and whether impeachment remains a useful tool against an overreaching president. Author Biography Frank O. Bowman III is a distinguished scholar of constitutional and criminal law. His work on impeachment was cited by members of Congress and counsel for the President more than that of any other single author during the two impeachments of Donald Trump.
