With the freshness and immediacy of journalism, Posner clarifies the issues involved, carefully assesses the conduct of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, and examines the pros and cons of impeaching President Clinton as well as the major procedural issues raised by both the impeachment in the House and the trial in the Senate. This book, reflecting the breadth of Posner's experience and expertise, will be the essential foundation for anyone who wants to understand President Clinton's impeachment ordeal. 606 $aTrials (Impeachment)$zUnited States 606 $aImpeachments$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTrials (Impeachment) 615 0$aImpeachments 676 $a342.73/062 686 $aMG 70690$2rvk 700 $aPosner$b Richard A$0110175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458959403321 996 $aAn affair of state$92458609 997 $aUNINA
