High crimes and misdemeanors in presidential impeachment
Brown, H. Lowell.

High crimes and misdemeanors in presidential impeachment[electronic resource] /H. Lowell Brown. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - [ix], 238 p.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Original meaning -- The impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson -- The proceedings against Richard M. Nixon -- The impeachment and trial ofWilliam Jefferson Clinton.

The United States Constitution provides in Article II, Section 4 that the President and othercivil officers of the federal government are subject to removal from office upon impeachment by theHouse of Representatives and conviction by the Senate of treason, bribery and "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." However, no authoritative definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" was providedbythe Framers either in the Constitution itself or in the debates at the constitutional convention.Asa consequence, the meaning of "high crimes and misdemeanors" has been a subject of controversy beginning with the first impeachment and trial of Judge John Pickering in 1804 and continuing throughtheimpeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. The study seeks to discern the meaning of "highcrimes and misdemeanors" not only from the record of the constitutional convention and the state ratifying conventions, together with history of British parliamentary impeachments and the experience of the American colonies and states which informed the Framers' adoption of "high crimes and misdemeanors" as grounds for removal of the President, but also from the circumstances that resulted inthe impeachments of Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon and Clinton, as Congress labored togive substance to the "high crimes and misdemeanors" standard.
