"This is a valuable book. Its focus is on the law of presidential impeachment, but it has broader constitutional ramifications. Particularly noteworthy is the extensive treatment of the legal issues raised by the Nixon impeachment inquiry. Not only does Mr. Labovitz examine the questions raised by that proceeding, but he also provides a fresh perspective on the views of the framers of the Constitution about impeachment and on the impeachment trials of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase and President Andrew Johnson."—John Fletcher, Annals of American Political and Social Science
"Here for once is a book appearing in the aftermath of Watergate and the Nixon impeachment proceedings that is very much in order. . . . Labovitz, who served on the Nixon impeachment staff, systematically reviews the history of the impeachment power in the American political system, beginning with the discussions of the constitutional framers. He examines the decisions arrived at in connection with the Nixon inquiry in an admirably balanced and analytic fashion. And he does all of this with such clarity and thoroughness that his book becomes a 'must' acquisition."—Choice
