The Law of Presidential Impeachment: A Guide for the Engaged Citizen by Michael J. Gerhardt https://amzn.to/3vsc1GJ A clear and comprehensive overview of presidential impeachment from a leading expert in the field As a result of Donald Trump’s presidency, impeachment was once again thrust into the spotlight of American political discussion. However, its history goes back to the very founding of the nation, when American colonists, remembering their grievances against their former king, entrenched the process in their new Constitution. The Law of Presidential Impeachment breaks down both the law and politics of this process, providing a comprehensive, nonpartisan, and up-to-date explanation of the Constitution’s various mechanisms for holding presidents accountable for their misdeeds. Based on a lifetime of scholarly research, as well as unique experience as a witness and consultant in the impeachment trials of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Michael J. Gerhardt’s new book takes the reader back to the basics of presidential impeachments. Rather than provide reasons for or against impeaching particular presidents, he explains the law and procedures that govern impeachment, examining a number of significant, yet under-explored, issues and themes. Gerhardt offers new perspectives on the subject, arguing that it cannot be properly understood in a vacuum, but must instead be viewed in the context of its coordination with such other mechanisms as criminal prosecutions, censure, elections, congressional oversight, and the Fourteenth and Twenty-Fifth Amendments.

(dis)Empowered: How I Turned an Academic Death Sentence Into My Life’s Greatest Adventure by Ellen Busch https://amzn.to/47jCS54 Ellenbusch.com Despite being raised in a loving family, life had left Ellen Busch traumatized and at her wit’s end. Busch had no home, no job, no relationship, and no hope of having a family. Even though Ellen escaped from an abusive husband, she was controlled by the unshakable stigma of dyslexia that erased any shred of self-worth. Busch couldn’t see that she was a victim of trauma until one fateful day, on a crowded highway, when she had a moment of realization that would change the trajectory of her life. (dis)Empowered traces Busch’s journey from a troubled child trapped in an educational system that believed she was broken, to an insecure adult who grasped at each success like a rung on a ladder. But as she climbed, the view never changed because she could not see her own successes. All she saw was a woman who was unworthy, incapable, feeling powerless. After being deceived into a marriage with a narcissist, left with nothing, she surrendered to a higher power. And in one epiphanic moment, she realized that everything that had happened to her had happened for her. About the author Ellen is passionate about helping people who are dyslexic in understanding they are not broken or handicapped. She is committed to supporting women who are in abusive relationships to get the resources they need to get out safely, heal, and create a new life for themselves.

She has clinical health care experience as a former certified hyperbaric technician (CHT) and is a former nationally certified emergency medical technician (EMT).
