FREE ESSAY ON CLINTONS IMPEACHMENT

CLINTONS IMPEACHMENT

The Good, The Bad, The Impeached
A fake. A liar. A cheat. Is this what should be said about the President? He has
committed perjury, obstructed justice, and continues to lie to America about his actions.
Bill Clinton is an embarrassment to America and should be impeached. How can his actions
be explained to the children? Can parents tell their children that the leader of the free
world is a liar, a cheat, and a pervert? Impeachment out of office or resignation would
be the best for the country. The President has been dodging everything that has been
thrown at him, it is about time he is pinned with something and this affair is the best
opportunity. Taking him out of office is necessary and this can not be a better time for
the impeachment to take place.
Through the history of America there have been many impeachments but never a full
impeachment for a president. The closest ever was Andrew Jackson who was impeached by the
house but not by the senate (O,Brien 973). Clinton went through the same that he did
being impeached by the house but not the senate. Andrew Jackson was impeached for high
crimes against the United States. Clinton has committed several high crimes yet he is not
going to be impeached. He has been given to many chances and forgiven too many times. A
person can only be given so many chances before a stop has to be put on it. This is the
best time to stop the lying and cheating going on in the White House.
The point that he is the President of the United States should not give the President any
leeway whatsoever. The President has engaged in conduct that is against his
constitutional duty to execute the laws (Starr). The President committed the crimes and
just like any other common criminal he should have to pay for what he has done. If a
doctor or a teacher participated in sexual activities with a patient or student would he
or she not be forced to resign or be fired? How is the President's case different from
this except for the fact that he is the President and he has also committed other crimes
besides having sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky? All men are created equal isn't that
what the constitution says, why is the Presidents case so different. The President should
be setting an example for America not having to be told what he should and should not be
doing. 
The President has now become known for lying. Mr. Clinton is aware of his actions and
should do the right thing which is confess and take the heat. There have been many named
cases by Mr. Starr in which he has lied but yet he has denied every thing Mr. Starr has
said and somehow still makes Starr look like he is the bad guy in this ordeal. It is now
been believed that the President is hiding evidence from Mr. Starr (Frederick). The
evidence that has been found so far is a blue dress and a phone conversation that was
recorded. Ms. Lewinsky is the victim here not Mr. Clinton, he treats this incident as if
it is her fault and not his. 
David Kendall stated that, This case is not about sex is not about sex in any way, it is
about perjury, subordination of perjury, witness tampering, and obstruction of
justice(Kendall). The President has said that he has never had sexual relation with Ms.
Lewinsky. Soon after that statement officials came across evidence that proved that he
lied. When he made the statement he was under oath which is perjury. He also has
committed subordination of justice, which is when an individual influences another to lie
under oath for the persons own benefit. He did this many times during the trial with the
grand jury. Obstruction of justice is to hold off justice from being achieved. The
President obstructed justice by using his influence as the President to persuade
witnesses who were to take the stand in front of the grand jury. 
Through all of the controversy and talk the president has been acquitted. Even though he
got away with these actions the nation has learned something about politics that may not
have been known before. It is now known how corrupt the executive office can become if
given way to much leeway. Mr.Clinton taught the American Public a lot about who to trust
and who not to trust and now the nation knows not to trust the word of any politician.
The ones who suffered most through this other than Ms. Lewinsky are the democrats who now
will always have a dark cloud over their heads from the actions their fellow democrat has
admitted to. Another accusation has come for the President very recently with another
woman who says he raped her and beat her 21 years ago. Maybe this one will be the one to
finally get him out of office and to stop embarrassing America.
