Deep Background with Noah Feldman

What did Hamilton and Madison overlook about the impeachment and the transition of power? To discuss these questions, political journalist and CEO of Pushkin Industries Jacob Weisberg joins the conversation. Jacob and Noah were two of the early voices on impeachment, starting in 2017 when they co-authored an article laying out Trump’s early possible impeachable offenses for<a href="https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2017/09/28/donald-trump-impeachable-offenses/"> The New York Review of Books.</a> Noah would later testify at President Trump’s first impeachment trial.
