Title: CENSURE OF THE PRESIDENT BY CONGRESS
Authors: Jack Maskell, American Law Division 
Abstract: Exploring a possible compromise between an impeachment and taking no congressional action, certain Members of Congress and congressional commentators have suggested a congressional "censure" of the President to express the Congress' disapproval of the President's conduct which has been the subject of an ongoing independent counsel investigation. This report provides an overview and discussion of the legal basis and congressional precedents regarding a congressional "censure" of the President.
