San Diego State University is offering a new course called: "Trump: Impeachment, Removal, or Conviction."
A description of the course says the focus will be on the two constitutional grounds: "Impeachment and removal (25th Amendment)," KUSI News reported.
It will include lessons on possible charges of the independent counsel and the powers of the president. Students in the class will also learn about "presidential immunity from indictment, and grounds for impeachment, removal, or indictment."
Topics will range from conflict of interests to obstruction of justice and religious bias.
The course is a one-credit class and is part of a criminal justice program at the university's College of Extended Studies.
The university told the San Diego TV station that the course will present an "overall framework of impeachment, removal or criminal investigation of a president."

It opens up to charges of partisanship in the academic presentation. I would prefer to see something that considered the modern history of when a President was in trouble and compare to the current administration. Probably would be just leaving Trump's name out of the title or including it with a list of other Presidents. The course could examine recent presidents such as Nixon (Watergate), Clinton (Whitewater), Reagan/Bush (Iran Contra), and Trump (Russian meddling). Also consider when controversies did not rise to this level: Bush II (run up to Iraq War) and Obama (IRS).
