For Immediate Release
Dr. Mike Ratner Releases Why Impeach: The Constitutional Case for Accountability
October 9, 2026 — Washington, D.C.
Why Impeach, a new book by social scientist and author Dr. Mike Ratner, PhD, is now available to readers nationwide through its official platform at www.yimpeach.com. The book presents a plain-language constitutional argument for presidential accountability, drawing on the framers' debates, historical precedent, and the legal record.
The launch platform gives readers free access rather than a sales pitch: Chapter One is free to download, the full book can be read online in the browser, and every chapter is available for purchase individually. A companion Journal publishes constitutional analysis, and readers can add their name to a public petition calling for accountability.
"The Constitution does not leave removal to sentiment," said Dr. Ratner. "Impeachment was written into the document because the framers understood that unchecked executive power would always test the republic. Every generation imagines it will be spared the burden of enforcement. Every generation is wrong."
The book is organized chapter by chapter around three questions: what the Constitution actually says, what precedent has established, and what citizens can do when enforcement fails. It is written for general readers, students, and civic groups rather than lawyers.
