McCallister, J. Wilson. The History, Law and
Politics of Federal Impeachment: From the Early
Precedents to the Impeachment and Trial of
President Bill Clinton. Durham: Strategic Book
Publishing, 2010.
Summary:
The near impeachment of President Nixon, and the
high-profile trial of President Clinton,
transformed impeachment into a household word.
What had previously been a subject of academic
study has arguably become a tool of political
partisanship as Jefferson feared was possible in
the early days of his first administration.
This is evidenced by the recent resolutions of
several American municipalities and town
councils which had urged the impeachments of
President Bush and Vice President Chaney, and
the establishment of the LA Impeachment Center.
Because of the increased public interest in
impeachment the book is timely, and should have
a broader readership than most legal or
historical works.
Consisting of approximately 450 pages the book
traces the origins of impeachment in the British
North American colonies, its inclusion in the
state and federal constitutions, the Jefferson
legacy, federal impeachment litigation, and
impeachment case studies including the
impeachments of Senator William Blount, Judge
Pickering, Justice Samuel Chase, President
Andrew Johnson, and President Bill Clinton.
Particular emphasis is placed on the
relationship between partisan politics and the
constitutional grounds for impeachment. It is
this connection that separates the book from
others on the subject.

McCallister, J. Wilson. The Ten Political Compromises that
Produced the United States Constitution.
Summary: The
cooperation that existed among the States during
their struggle for Independence began to
evaporate as the euphoria over victory
dissipated. Independence had been won, but it
did not meld thirteen independent states into
one, but solidified their individual
independence. The Continental Congress had to
find ways to pay off the costs of the War under
the framework created under the Articles of
Confederation, implement the Peace Treaty, treat
with foreign nations, and deal with constantly
emerging conflicts and civil unrest within and
among the newly liberated states. The Articles,
however, did not provide a mechanism for dealing
effectively with foreign trade, nor was there
any mechanism for enforcing compliance with the
treaty of peace. It became apparent to
Congressional and state leaders alike that some
form of national government that could exercise
power over national issues was necessary if the
country was to survive. So, a call went out for
a convention of delegates to meet in
Philadelphia in the Summer of 1787 to "take into
consideration the situation of the United
States", and "devise such further provisions as
shall appear to them necessary to render the
constitution of the Federal Government adequate
to the exigencies of the Union." All the states
except Rhode Island answered the call, and from
late May to the middle of September, 1787,
fifty-five of the Country's most creative minds
engaged in the most remarkable exercise in
constitution-making the world had ever seen.
The book chronicles the circumstances that led
to the Philadelphia Convention, the competing
state and federal interests that had to be
accommodated there, and explains why multiple
compromises were required to produce the
document, which may not have been the best that
could have been produced, but, perhaps, the only
one that could have been produced under the
circumstances.
