If he had an affair, who cares?

It would have been best if he resigned and President Gore take over in 1999, preventing Bush, Obama, 9/11, etc.

It's because he waged his finger to Congress about sexual relations with ML. He lied!

He wasn’t impeached because of the affair; Clinton was impeached due to perjury and obstruction of justice. Then acquitted by the Senate. All per the Constitution.

He should have been impeached for giving our rocket technology to the Chinese in return for millions in donations to the Clinton Foundation. Or maybe that was just a coincidence.

Clinton should have been convicted.

He, and the senate that failed America decriminalized perjury by politicians.

Bill Clinton committed perjury. It’s not even debatable. That is a crime. Period. Full stop.

The artful deflection of what he committed perjury over doesn’t matter. He did it. That’s why he got disbarred.

He could have answered the question truthfully under oath and let the cards fall where they may.

If it truly wasn’t a big deal why did he lie about it?

In today's society I don't think it would matter much anymore but at that time, I think the President having an affair would be a big scandal and an opportunity for someone with knowledge of the affair to blackmail the president if he did not admit it. Add to that, he was willing for private citizens to be punished who knew about the affair rather than just admit it.

He wasn't impeached because he had an affair. He was impeached because he committed perjury and saborned perjury during a criminal investigation.

On top of everyone already pointing out that’s not why he was impeached nor why the investigation started in the first place, how do you jump to Gore preventing 9/11 or anything else. Gore was a shite leader and a shite person. If anything having him in the job for a year may have resulted in Bush winning in a landslide.

Richard Nixon really shouldn’t have been impeached. Seems like most impeachments are over nothing.

Bill Clinton was Impeached for perjury (lying under oath). The Left has tried (and still does, apparently) to re-write history to make it seem like he was Impeached over his affair, but it wasn't about that. He could have perjured himself by claiming as adamantly that he was never Governor of Arkansas and it still would have risen to Impeachment worthy because he was under oath at the time.

Learn history before you post about it.

Even with Slick Willie's impeachment trial, the Senate refused to call live witnesses. GOP Senator Specter bailed out Slick, the same Specter who worked with the Warren Commission. Imagine that!!

None of the four presidential impeachments have had any real merit.

Not the reason he was impeached ......

He lied, under oath, to a Grand Jury .....

I don't give a damn what the question was or the subject.

He was disbarred after leaving office. Image that ......a Lawyer disbarred for lying.
