Clinton's Presidency

On December 19th of 1998, Congress passed two articles of impeachment against our then president, William Jefferson Clinton. These actions taken by the house were a result in Clinton having an inappropriate sexual relationship with his intern, Monica Lewinsky. This investigation spear-headed at Clinton was the work of prosecutor Kenneth Starr. Starr seemed poised to the task to bring Clinton down. Starr went as far as turning down a opportunity to obtain a prestigious occupation at Pepperdine law school in California. Starr did months of investigation and provided thousands of written documents. Starr also presented physical evidence, including gifts given to Lewinsky from Clinton. However the most condemning part of Starr's case was recorded conversations held between Linda Tipp and Monica Lewinsky. Tripp worked with Lewinsky and cohersed her into talking about her intimate relationship with President Clinton (Fierro).

My main motivation for writing my paper on this topic was because an impeachment trial has only taken place twice in American history. Clinton's impeachment case was one of these two cases. Also, this scandal and case set a standard for what is considered the private lie of our Leader and what is consid


The executive branch of our government (our president) is governed by a series of checks and balances. The president can and in this case was brought to impeachment by Congress due to the allegations of him committing acts of perjury and obstruction of justice. Also, the President can be tried for his wrong doings by the courts. The president as an individual is obligated to follow the same laws as civilians. According to the House of Representitives, Clinton broke a couple of these laws (as described earlier).

I personally feel that Clinton's life is the same as any other United State's citizen. That his privacy should be respected and left to members of his family to deal with accordingly. Even though Clinton looked bad in the public eye. The people that turned out looking worse was Kenneth Starr and the people persecuting Clinton for his personal character flaws that did not effect his position in office. This scandal/ court case set a very important unwritten guideline for the strict morals and ethics that our executive branch now knows they must abide by or they will face possible unwarranted public and media persecution.

In Jeffrey Toobin's novel "A Vast Conspiracy". He discusses in great details the Clinton trials, mostly through the eyes of the media. He uses a timeline of the events that occurred around the time of the trial. Toobin says the first person to break the story of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal was Matt Drudge, who operates the Drudge report. At that time the information only basically alleged that Clinton had a sexual relationship with an "intern". Clinton denied on several occasions having an affair with Ms. Lewinsky. The first denial of the issue was during a videotaped deposition in the Paula Jones case. One week later Clinton was on television, where he gave his most famous line from the Monica Lewinsky scandal, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky". Through Kenneth Starr's accomplance, Linda Tripp's recorded conversations with Monica Lewinsky, Clinton was forced to admit that he did "have an inappropriate relationship" with Monica Lewinsky. Even though it seems like an entrapment procedure executed on Ms. Lewinsky. It was still enough to suspect the President of committing perjury. This is Where the terms of the impeachment came into play. As I will discuss later in more detail, perjury is a very serious offense for a president to commit (Toobin 20).

In Alan Dershowitz's novel "Sexual McCart
