Im pleased to welcome Laurence Tribe and joshua matz. The carl m. Loeb University Professor and professor of constitutional law at harvard. Matz is a constitutional lawyer. Previously he and tribe have cowritten uncertain justice, the Roberts Court and the constitution. In their new book to end a presidency, they address one of todays most urgent questions, when and how to remove a president from office . Although the constitution gives congress the power to impeach, the matter is not as simple as a vote on whether or not the president is a national menace. Ultimately impeachment is a long, trying process that calls for political judgment of the highest order. Whether you think impeachment is necessary or a partisan conspiracy, to end a presidency is for anyone who wishes to understand how this immense power should be deployed. A reviewer writes, impeachment is a fearsome power, this bracing restrained and fiercely judicious account of the processes, origins and purpose explains why no

And like a snake oil salesman, hes promoting disproven medical treatments. It is unconscionable. Whose medical advice is the president of the United States promoting . Its not dr. Fauci. Not dr.

No, the president is promoting a doctor whose viral video has been very popular suddenly among conspiracy theorists and covid deniers. Shes a do
