750 of the most well-known historians and academics in the country have signed a letter imploring congress to impeach President Trump. These notable academics include professors from Harvard, Yale and Stanford, as well as famous authors and historians such as Ron Chernow, who wrote the Alexander Hamilton book, Jon Meacham, Douglas Brinkley, filmmaker Ken Burns and biographer Robert Caro.

The letter opens with, “We are American historians devoted to studying our nation’s past who have concluded that Donald J. Trump has violated his oath to ‘faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States’ and to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ His ‘attempts to subvert the Constitution,’ as George Mason described impeachable offenses at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, urgently and justly require his impeachment.”

The letter goes on to talk about President Trump’s “numerous and flagrant abuses of power”,
his “lawless obstruction of the House of Representatives”, and “brazen contempt for representative government.” It leads them to conclude that, “if President Trump’s misconduct does not rise to the level of impeachment, then virtually nothing does.”

The letter concludes, “That disregard continues and it constitutes a clear and present danger to the Constitution. We therefore strongly urge the House of Representatives to impeach the President.”
