Böcker av Allan J. Lichtman

Thirteen Cracks examines the most vulnerable areas in American democracy in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency. Best-selling author Allen J. Lichtman explains in historical context how President Trump uniquely and outrageously exploited these weak spots and proposes a fix for each challenge.

Americans have died for the right to vote. Yet our democratic system guarantees no one, not even citizens, the opportunity to elect a government. Allan Lichtman calls attention to the founders' greatest error-leaving the franchise to the discretion of individual states-and explains why it has triggered an unending struggle over voting rights.

Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential elections, makes the case for impeaching the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.Impeachment will 'proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust,' and 'they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. '(Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist, 1788)In The Case for Impeachment, Professor Lichtman lays out the reasons why Congress removing Donald J. Trump has become a matter of 'when' not 'if'. Shedding some light on the consequences of his ties with Russia before and after the election, complicated financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad and abuse of executive authority, this is an authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the most controversial presidency since Richard Nixon.
