that we had also been reading about in terms of the historical and constitutional contexts and gene healy highlighted the way that elected members seemed to have flipped sides in their discussion of the impeachments from clinton to trump. one of the sort of discussions that i found particularly interesting from mr. berger was an analysis of the different ways that house and the senate sort of caucuses, the republican and democratic caucuses, are working and can anybody remember how berger sort of described it particularly with regard to the republicans in the house, versus the republicans in the senate? does maybe remember what he had to say about that? so he talked about how the house caucus, the republican members, have pretty safe seats, same with the democrats. most house members have pretty safe seats. there's a very high level of incumbency in the house and senate in general, but particularly in the house these days, so the house members who are republicans in a certain sense don't have to worry very much with regard to the folks in their districts necessarily being upset with them

america's dangerous devotion to be executive power i'm happy to welcome to the day this evening gene healy vice president at the cato institute in washington gene it's good to have you on the program i mean it before here before we talk about impeachment per se let's talk about what the definition of a trial is here the democrats say that the trial rules make a fair trial impossible because no witnesses will be able to take the stand is an impeachment trial is it not like a courtroom trial as we understand it to be. well yes and no if this were a court room trial you could disqualify many of the senators for having prince judge the case there'd be a standard burden of proof. there are many elements of say a criminal trial that you don't find in. an impeachment trial which is sort of a hybrid of law and politics perhaps with more politics and law as we move further . you wrote a white paper about 2 years ago on the broad scope of the constitution's impeachment power and i have to say i read through it sid a it's an excellent piece on the history of impeachment there's one clause one phrase

demanded it will be the circumstances have given it to is now the 1st case in the 21st century gene healy we appreciate you joining us tonight putting context around the impeachment process against donald trump jean thank you thank you. we're here in germany chancellor angela merkel today opened a new exhibition spotlighting $75.00 holocaust survivors it's part of the events taking place to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp which was established and operated by nazi germany now the exhibition features plus the portraits of people who lived through the nazi genocide some of those survivors were in attendance today for merkel's speech merkel valid that germany will do everything possible to combat present day racism and anti-semitism. more than 1000000 people were murdered out of it before the camp was liberated by the soviet red army in 1901. these people were persecuted by nazi germany and survived. the portraits on display in the german city of s. and. the title of the exhibition is survivors faces of life after the holocaust. the 75 photographs by martin shie

and that gene healy talked about that yesterday as well with regard to impeachment as another mechanism with regard to how the founders thought about managing executive power, and so think about the idea of political power and how the parties sort of operate with regard to that idea. where are they? it's not just military power, right. it's also about sort of the projection of america to the rest of the world and to us. how do we see that projection of power, be it in the house, the senate, the judiciary, the executive, as well as within the states. you know, what is the kind of power your governor has? is it different than my governor? there's a lot of differences in terms of gubernatorial power. the last two readings i wanted to just sort of talk about a little bit and then sort of opens up for the readings for tomorrow, elaine marks piece on emotion in politics, with regard to why hillary clinton lost, but will open up some of the conversation with regard to the readings tomorrow by liliana mason and kathy cramer and some of the other discussions and i want you to start thinking abou
