"Nichols lays out the case for impeachment as an integral bulwark against executive overreaching and tyranny in all its forms. Not an exotic ritual to be used only in emergency, but a cudgel to be wielded freely to keep the executive branch in its proper place in the constitutional order. "

    " Not as much background on the Constitutional Convention debates regarding impeachment as I would have liked, and the lack of documentation on the quotes is very disappointing. But I appreciate the background on prior attempts to reign in the executive branch. "
