by John Nichols, a masterpiece that should be required reading in every
high school and college in the United States, a history and portrait of
the practice of impeachment.

“The Impeachment of George W. Bush: A Practical Guide for Concerned Citizens,”

impeachment panel) and Cynthia L. Cooper, an excellent and readable
book laying out five major grounds for impeachment of Bush, plus an
extra section on Dick Cheney.

“The Case for Impeachment,”

extremely readable book that explains the context while also setting

W. Bush versus the U.S. Constitution: The Downing Street Memos and
Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, and Cover-ups in the
Iraq War and Illegal Domestic Spying,” by the U.S. House

evidence but also tells us what Congressman John Conyers, the ranking
Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, is thinking (the full text, minus
a new introduction by Joseph Wilson, is available here.)
