EDEL RODRIGUEZ ILLUSTRATES THE COVER OF TIME

September 26, 2019

Edel Rodriguez illustrates this week's cover of TIME magazine, a rare, no cover-line design.  Scroll down for a synopsis of the cover story from the editors.

“If the accusations are true, President Trump’s behavior would be an abuse of power unseen since the Nixon era: using the presidency and the powers of the U.S. government to conscript foreign help in a domestic political campaign. The implications go beyond the fate of a presidency to the heart of our democracy, Molly Ball writes in this week's cover story. Trump stands accused of using America’s vast wealth and the presidency’s unmatched sway to hold onto power for himself. In this era of hyperpartisan politics, the impeachment process will test the mechanisms of accountability built into our system of government by the Founders, who anticipated many things—but could not have envisioned Trump. What is about to unfold is more than political drama. Presidents have been impeached or threatened with impeachment before, but never in the heat of a re-election campaign. Now speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have staked the course of history on an constitutional clash, one that threatens to put a deeply divided nation to a new test.”
