Foreword BY HON. HENRY J. HYDE, CHAIRMAN, COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY The resolution of fundamental issues of public debate is always enhanced when wide segments of the American public become concerned and informed. In recent months, the Committee on the Judiciary has daily received numerous requests for information regarding the constitutional and procedural bases for the impeachment of civil officers of the United States. For that reason, and to promote familiarity with a critical area of American law, I am pleased to transmit this document as a committee print. It is my hope that these materials will be more readily accessible to Members of Congress and to a larger segment of the American community. Contents Foreword Richard M. Nixon Walter L.
