Join the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies, School of Public Affairs, Sine Institute of Policy & Politics, and Washington College of Law Program on Law and Government to explore what impeachment is and how it works.
Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Law Louis Caldera and two attorneys -- Daniel Freeman and Alan Baron -- who worked for the House Judiciary Committee on every impeachment inquiry in the past 40 years will discuss the impeachment process including the House’s role in an impeachment investigation and its adoption of articles of impeachment, as well as the Senate’s role in the subsequent trials. They will also discuss the philosophy behind the creation of the impeachment remedy contained in the constitution and how effective that philosophy has been.
