Book Description
A vivid political history of the schemes, plots, maneuvers, and conspiracies that have attempted -- successfully and not -- to remove unwanted presidents To limit executive power, the founding fathers created fixed presidential terms of four years, giving voters regular opportunities to remove their leaders. Even so, Americans have often resorted to more dramatic paths to disempower the chief executive. The American presidency has seen it all, from rejecting a sitting president's renomination bid and undermining their authority in office to the more drastic methods of impeachment, and, most brutal of all, assassination. How to Get Rid of a President showcases the political dark arts in action: a stew of election dramas, national tragedies, and presidential departures mixed with party intrigue, personal betrayal, and backroom shenanigans. This briskly paced, darkly humorous voyage proves that while the pomp and circumstance of presidential elections might draw more attention, the way that presidents are removed teaches us much more about our political order.

Book Description
This book describes the presidential aspirations of James G. Blaine in the elections of 1876, 1880, 1884, 1888, and 1892. It discusses at length his convention loss in 1876 and his loss of the presidential election to Grover Cleveland in 1884. In losing, Blaine received a greater percentage of the popular vote than did eight candidates who won the presidency. The Appendix contains scores of hard-to-find letters, charts, tables, and telegrams, including the text of all the famous Mulligan letters and other letters used by Blaine in his defense before the House of Representatives.
