He clearly lied under oath and should have actually been removed from office. Of course I believe the current president has done much worse and should have been removed as well. What really concerned me bout clinton was not the entire Lewinsky affair, but actually other incidents in his past:

>>>Maybe my recollection of history varies from yours.

>>>Weren't articles of impeachement passed against Clinton? Wasn't there a trial in the Senate? Had there been a 2/3 Republican majority in the Senate I feel quite confident that there would have been an expulsion.

>>I could be wrong, but I think the rumblings I heard at the time were that Congress didn't want to touch it, because of the damage it would do to the country. The Republican leadership wouldn't even push it, or that is the way I remember it

>President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The charges, perjury and obstruction of justice, arose from the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Paula Jones law suit. The trial proceedings were largely party-line, with no Democratic Senators voting for conviction and only three Democratic Representatives voting to impeach. In all, 55 senators voted "not guilty," and 45 voted "guilty" on the charge of perjury. The Senate also acquitted on the obstruction charge with 50 votes cast each way.

>>I was disappointed, because I thought Clinto had done much worse than lying to congress and having sex in the Oval Office. It's a hard thing to do, to charge the president with crimes. The president has so many resources and is given so much latitude, you almost need a smoking gun. Even then, they will probably get a pardon ala Nixon,

>As much as I disliked Nixon and the mockery he made of his office, I think the pardon was best for the country given the times. I will not comment on the correctness of the recent pardon given by our current president. (I guess I just did)

>>and I guess you could say Slick got a pass.
>You could say that and I'm sure you'll find many who agree. (Deleted diatribe about my feelings on the morals and motives of those who pushed the impeachment proceedings)

>>Just because they are a D or an R doesn't mean they aren't members of the same club.
>On this we are in agreement.
