LL>Hello Tim,

TR>>> There wasn't any `impeachment' for Nixon. He resigned.

AP>> Nixon wolud have been impeached by congress and the senate... the
AP>> evidence was OVERWHEALMINGLY against her.

TR>>> The only president ever `impeached' was Wiulliam Jefferson Clinton.

AP>> This is not true... Andrew Johnson was impeached by congress as
AP>> well... but like WJC the senate did not uphold it.

LL>> Unlike Bill Clinton, Andrew Johnson was not an elected president.
LL>> Even though both presidents had been impeached by the House, they
LL>> both remained in office having been acquitted by the Senate.

TR> THAT'S what it was! Johnson was impeached but had not been `elected'!
TR> He took over after Lincoln was murdered.

LL>Lincoln was executed, the victim of a conspiracy.  Others were
LL>also targeted, such as Secretary of State Seward, who was wounded
LL>but survived.  Four of the perpetrators were later caught, tried,
LL>convicted, and hanged, including one woman.

It's unlikely the doctor was any part of it.

A nation-wide civil war had just ended. Tempers on both sides were still
hot. What Booth did wasn't going anywhere. The Northern forces were in
firm control of the South, the South's armies had been defeated and
mostly disbanded. Killing Lincoln may have had popularity in many circles
in the South, it wasn't going to accomplish anything except sympathy for
a very popular fallen president.

LL>Andrew Johnson was
LL>also targeted, but was not at the location he was supposed to be
LL>at, changing his location at the last moment upon being informed
LL>about the attack on Seward.  There is even some suggestion that
LL>Johnson may have been in on it.

TR> Bill Clinton is the only ELECTED president ever impeached!

LL>Special Prosecutor Ken Starr had gathered the evidence, and
LL>it was stored for members of Congress to view.  However, nobody
LL>bothered examining the evidence.  So what did it matter?

That wasn't the point.

LL>The
LL>president got a blowjob.  Everybody knew it.  And nobody cared.
LL>The whole thing was about politics, not a criminal act.

If he'd just said right from the beginning; `yeah, I got some head from
a chubby little intern wo likes to suck'....nobody would have cared.

Oh there might have been a little `harrumphing' over doing it right in
the Oval Office....but that would have died down and gone away rather
quickly.

The point was (and IS) he lied about it, under oath, and an ordinary
American would have been prosecuted for perjury and imprisoned!

Clinton walked!

LL>How does a president getting a blowjob qualify as being guilty
LL>of "high crimes and misdemeanors"?

Perjury is a crime.

LL>It certainly isn't treason.
LL>Although maybe to his spouse.  But hey.  Maybe she does the same
LL>thing.  It's called having an open marriage.

LL>Should we convict a president based on their moral shortcomings?

No. But for lying? Yes. An ordinary person like you or I would have been
prosecuted for perjury and imprisoned.

The laws either mean things or they are useless to even have in the first
place.

LL>Not sure about Hillary.  Depends on what is found in those emails.

She should be prosecuted.
