  • Reforming Nato to Save the Alliance
    EUROPE, STRATEGY, SECURITY PROGRAMME REFORMING NATO TO SAVE THE ALLIANCE BY FRÉDÉRIC MAURO LAWYER AT THE PARIS AND BRUSSELS BARS, ASSOCIATE RESEARCHER AT IRIS JULY 2019 ANALYSIS #7 ANALYSIS #7 –EUROPE, STRATEGY, SECURITY PROGRAMME / July 2019 ATO is seventy. It has survived the demise of the Soviet empire, worked to bring peace to the former Yugoslavia, helped to reunite the countries of Eastern Europe with the rest of the continent and participated in American N expeditions in Afghanistan. “Mission accomplished’’ 1, one might be tempted to say, particularly as it continues to serve a useful purpose by reassuring States directly facing Russian aggression. However, never have there been more questions as to its permanence. It took just one word – “obsolete” – for both sides of the Atlantic to start asking: “could NATO die?” Really? It is a paradox, because although the transatlantic political links have seriously deteriorated, never has NATO so blossomed as a military organisation. As Bruno Tertrais so rightly put it, “NATO is doing fine, but the Atlantic Alliance is in trouble”2. The fact is that criticism is mounting on both sides of the Atlantic. The marriage is on the rocks, but the spouses cannot make up their minds to leave. It would be better for them to reorganise their relationship than start throwing crockery at each other. But how? NATO IS FINE… It has survived everything, particularly the disappearance of its enemy, the USSR. It has been able to adapt and continue in its existence. It is no longer an organisation. It is an institution. Not only has it survived, it has grown from twelve members to twenty-nine and new candidates are knocking on the door.

Trump: The Constitutional Basis For Presidential Impeachment” 1100 House Office Building United States House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary December 4, 2019 I.INTRODUCTION Chairman Nadler, ranking member Collins, members of the Judiciary Committee, my name is Jonathan Turley, and I am a law professor at George Washington University where I hold the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Chair of Public Interest Law.1It is an honor to appear before you today to discuss one of the most solemn and important constitutional functions bestowed on this House by the Framers of our Constitution: the impeachment of the President of the United States. Twenty-one years ago, I sat here before you, Chairman Nadler, and other members of the Judiciary Committee to testify on the history and meaning of the constitutional impeachment standard as part of the impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. I never thought that I would have to appear a second time to address the same question with regard to another sitting president. Yet, here we are. Some elements are strikingly similar. The intense rancor and rage of the public debate is the same. It was an atmosphere that the Framers anticipated. Alexander Hamilton warned that charges of impeachable conduct “will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused.”2 As with the Clinton impeachment, the Trump impeachment has again proven Hamilton’s words to be prophetic.

Next year. Except the governor’s office produced data that 99% of teachers received an average pay bump of more than $1,200 this year, due to actions he took in 2019. Holcomb and Speaker Brian Bosma had hinted over the past week vember. The implied political threat was a fate similar to that the governor would address the 2012 election verdict on Republican Supt.

With the nation still grappling with the educational, social, and public health consequences of the coronavirus, the next administration will take office during the worst economy since the Great Depression. The next administration will also have to lead a nation badly divided—one with little faith that government can be held account- able or effectively address issues such as structural racism and economic inequality. Meanwhile, the president who takes office in 2021 will lead a country diminished in the eyes of the world. While the Trump administration was embracing national- ist, authoritarian politics and badly mishandling the pandemic, the world moved on without us, and “America first” increasingly meant “America alone.” At precisely the moment when the United States needed to be working alongside its allies and partners to solve global challenges such as climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising authoritarianism, the Trump administration retreated from advancing U.S.
