During the Nixon administration impeachment process, in August, 1974, the U.S. Department of Justice deemed it necessary to have -- for its own use -- a document outlining the historial and legal espects of impeachment; thus this document. Impeachment is a seldom-visited aspect of American political life; encountered only twice in the past, during the administrations of Andred Johnson and Richard Nixon. (And 24 years later, Bill Clinton.) This is a one-oif-a-kind study, for all citizens, politicans at every level, students, academics and all others interested in American government. Published for general use for the first time.
