Impeachment Resources

Are your students still asking questions about the impeachment trial? The National Constitution Center has the resources you need to help answer some of those questions.

  • Listen to An Impeachment Trial Recap, where George Washington Law professor Andrew Knaggs—who served in the Trump administration’s Department of Defense—summarizes the arguments against convicting the president, and his colleague professor Peter Smith—a former Department of Justice lawyer—summarizes the pro-conviction arguments.
  • Read the blog post Battle for the Constitution: Weekly Roundup for a collection of scholarly articles about the impeachment trial, the Supreme Court, and the founding generation.
  • Watch the NBC News report from Philadelphia, the birthplace of the Constitution, that breaks down constitutional rules regarding a president's impeachment and potential removal from office here.
Celebrating African American History Month

This week, we are recognizing Rosa Parks, civil rights activist and icon. Read the Constitution Daily blog post about the impact Parks had on the bus boycott, the desegregation of the South, and the legacy she left behind here.
Classroom Exchanges

Classroom Exchanges provide students the opportunity to use their voice and answer constitutional questions about topics that matter in their lives. These online, real-time conversations between your class and another class across the United States build student confidence in sharing their voice and provide students the skills to disagree without being disagreeable.

The Center is hosting Exchanges on the following dates:
  • Tuesday, March 3
  • Friday, March 27
  • Monday, April 13
  • Thursday, April 30
  • Tuesday, May 19
  • Friday, May 22
  • Tuesday, June 9
  • Friday, June 12

Those dates don't work for you? Sign up here and schedule a date that works for your schedule!

In addition to providing an opportunity for your students to discuss essential constitutional issues with their peers from across the country, exchanges meet Social Studies, English, and Speaking & Listening Standards through inquiry-based learning, all while promoting SEL skills through civil dialogue techniques.
