Daybreak

Yesterday, President Trump became the first President in U.S. history to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives. Before that historic moment, more than 300 historians and constitutional scholars, including seven Princeton faculty members, signed a joint statement in support of impeachment. Daybreak sat down with three of those scholars, Professor of History Sean Wilentz, Researcher at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs Meg Jacobs, and Professor of History Emeritus Daniel Rodgers, to learn more about this action and to discuss its implications.
