Recenzii
"Brilliant...In
their
terrific,
accessible,
and
thoughtful
new
book,To
End
a
Presidency:
The
Power
of
Impeachment,
the
Harvard
law
professor
Laurence
Tribe
and
the
constitutional
lawyer
Joshua
Matz
do
better
than
offering
a
simple
yes
or
no:
they
give
us
a
framework
for
thinking
about
the
question...To
their
great
credit,
Tribe
and
Matz
didn't
write
a
legal
brief
or
a
political
strategy
memo.
They
instead
make
clear
to
anyone
even
contemplating
impeachment
that
the
decision
to
end
a
presidency
isn't
simple
or
straightforward."—Guardian
