DESCRIPTION:About the conversation\n\nThere has been talk of impeachment since just 
 after the current president was elected in 2016. Looking past the bombast 
 and hyperbole, what is impeachment and when is it called for? In response 
 to the complexity of a rapidly evolving situation, constitutional scholar 
 Alan Hirsch offers clear and to-the-point guidance for all matters relating 
 to removing a sitting president—from the Founder’s constitutional 
 protections against executive criminality and the instructive impeachment 
 stories of presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton, to 
 the particular ways that Donald Trump may be legally vulnerable, and the 
 possibilities and limitations of presidential self-pardon.\n\n“Impeaching 
 the President is lucid, balanced, and deeply informed. Anyone in search of 
 a reasoned guide to the unreason of our current situation should read 
 it.” — Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth 
 Extinction.\n\nAbout the guest\n\nAlan Hirsch, Instructor in the Humanities 
 and Chair of the Justice and Law Studies program at Williams College, is 
 the author of numerous works of legal scholarship and many books including 
 For the People: What the Constitution Really Says About Your Rights (Free 
 Press, coauthored with Akhil Amar) and A Citizen’s Guide to Impeachment 
 (Essential Books). He received a J.D. from Yale Law School and B.A. from 
 Amherst College. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles 
 Times, Washington Times, Newsday and the Village Voice. Hirsch also serves 
 as a trial consultant and expert witness on interrogations and criminal 
 confessions, testifying around the nation. He lives in Williamstown, 
 Massachusetts.\n\n\nThe Grace Cathedral "Forum" is a series of stimulating 
 conversations about faith and ethics in relation to the important issues of 
 our day. We invite inspiring and illustrious people to sit down for a real 
 conversation with the Forum’s host, Malcolm Clemens Young, the dean of 
 Grace Cathedral, and with you. Our guests range from artists, inventors and 
 philosophers to pop culturists and elected officials, but the point of The 
 Forum is singular: civil, sophisticated discourse that engages minds and 
 hearts to think in new ways about the world.\n
