Impeachment 101: How Impeachment Serves a Democracy!

Our leaders still need to be held accountable but unless the people demand it - it will never happen. When January 20, 2009 arrives all the expanded powers and abuses will be sitting there waiting for whomever is elected.

Panelists will take a historical look at our founding fathers' intent to use impeachment as a tool to curb the abuse of power in government and examine noteworthy cases in our nation’s record in which Articles of Impeachment have been filed. They will discuss the purpose of impeachment, the separation of powers, and the legal definition of impeachable acts.

Our panelists are high profile constitutional attorneys' and experts:

• Marjorie Cohn is Professor of Law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA; and current president of the National Lawyers Guild. www.marjoriecohn.com
• Stephen Rohde is a constitutional lawyer, lecturer, writer and political activist. He is a past President of both the ACLU of Southern California and the Beverly Hills Bar Association.

League of Women Voters of Orange Coast will be moderating and the Golden West Office of Student Activities is sponsoring.
