“Impeachment is a means of establishing and maintaining the separation of powers designed by the founders in the U.S. and replicated across the western hemisphere,” says Dr. Steve Wuhs, a political scientist at the University of Redlands, who can speak on the current impeachment proceedings. “In Latin America, there are many examples of presidential systems in which executives have far overstepped their constitutional limits by violating both formal rules and informal norms. What is concerning about the current impeachment case here is how it mirrors executive overreach elsewhere, where such behavior has contributed to the decay of democratic political systems.”
Dr. Wuhs is a professor and associate provost of internationalization at the University of Redlands. He received his Ph.D. and M.A. in political science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and B.A. in sociology and Spanish at Macalester College. He is a former fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (at the Technical University of Dresden), the Center for U.S-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego, and the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City.
