Understanding Impeachment: a Boston University Student-Faculty Forum
“The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” What does this section of Article II of the U.S. Constitution mean? What is the process? How can we understand impeachment as a legal phenomenon and as a political phenomenon. What can we learn from the history of impeachment? And in this context, how can we understand our current situation intelligently and analytically? Join BU faculty experts from political science, law and history to learn more.
