Clinton Impeachment Analysis

Since the recent impeachment of former President Donald Trump and dismissal of his entire cabinet. The world can finally breathe a sigh of relief. People of all races, genders, and sexualities gathered in the streets to celebrate this momentous event. The wall between the United States and Mexico has been destroyed, refugees and the LGBTQ community are no longer being oppressed and the electoral college has been abolished. Although these two years have been difficult. Filled with the feeling of impending doom that would eventually result to armageddon. We the people have resisted. Looking back and reflecting on these last years the world has finally come to the conclusion that electing Trump was a terrible idea...IT’S ABOUT TIME AMERICA!! It seems that Trump’s legacy can be summarized by the song “Good with God” by Old 97s ft. Brandi Carlile:

Whatever the merits of that argument, such action is clearly unnecessary. There is no need or justification for us to take this important action in such haste” (Rothenberg and Sanders 2000). In another case, Democrat Rush Holt defeated Republican Michael Pappas in the 1998 contest of New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, but Pappas still cast his vote on the impeachment. Holt believed that Pappas should withdraw his impeachment vote because “it’s a matter of historic significance and he doesn’t have to answer to anybody” (Rothenberg and Sanders 2000). Against Holt’s and many others’ views, Pappas, along with the other thirty-nine representatives in their final term, participated in the impeachment trial while facing no electoral accountability (Rothenberg and Sanders 2000). While the Democrats still could have received some votes from the departing Republican representatives, the chances that enough Republican representatives would vote non-guilty to create a Democratic majority were very slim.

The government of the United States controls countless affairs in the world. They control everything from the currency to the court systems. Individuals are suppose to be able to trusting your government system, which has not been the case in many different circumstances. From Richard Nixon to the Whitewater scandal, the government has been everything but honest.

I was 17 at the time, I remember walking into the house and my parents were glued to the television. It was basically on every channel, the House of Representative voted to impeach President Bill Clinton. I remember the news asking people what they thought. The people they asked were divided. The older crowd was for his removal from office and the younger crowd was against it.

With rumors of impeachment beginning to circulate, Nixon finally agreed to turn over the subpoenaed White House tapes. The committee listened to the recordings and discovered an 18-minute gap on one of the tapes. It was surmised that someone had erased part of the tape, but investigators were unable to determine exactly what had happened. In March 1974, seven former presidential aides were indicted on charges of conspiracy to hinder the Watergate investigation, and Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. On July 24, the Supreme Court voted unanimously to order Nixon to release the rest of the White House recordings, considering them evidence in the case that came to be known as the United States v. Nixon.

In 1999, for the second time in American history, the President of the United States was impeached. For those who don’t know, impeachment means to bring a government official to trial over accusations of illegal or shameful activity. President William Jefferson Clinton, more commonly known as Bill Clinton, took office in 1992 as a leader who had promised to bring a more honest and better government to the American people. This Democratic politician would have his two terms in office defined by self-inflicted shameful events. Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky would go down as one of the most talked about scandals known to man.

impeach? I’m sure I don’t have the answer to this question. However, I believe they created an

Also, the Senate's president pro tempore, who is typically a senior senator of the majority party, is in charge when the Vice President of the United States isn't present. The Senate also has the power to choose its other officers.

This alone proves the wrongdoings of Nixon. If the President has the evidence against him to be eligible for impeachment, he must have done enough wrong. Nixon’s might have even created a threat to the country. By releasing this information against him, he paved a way for these powers and scandals to be abused in the future.

On November 3, 1992 William Jefferson Clinton was elected President of the United States. Even though his campaign was troubled by accusations of draft dodging, the newly elected President won by promising to address pressing economic issues, including the ever escalating national debt. Throughout their entire two terms, the Clinton-Gore Administration made America thrive. Social reform, improved education, and exuberant economic prosperity crowded the long list of the administration's accomplishments. However, despite its achievements and triumphs, the Clinton-Gore Administration was punctured and exemplified by a monumental scandal, a scandal that led to national embarrassment, a tumultuous investigation, a hectic trial, eventual impeachment, and finally acquittal.

There are many reasons that Clinton should have been the victorious candidate of the 2016 presidential election. In my mind, these reasons are very apparent.

Hillary Clinton her self, claimed that President Trump committed crimes of treason by colluding with

The 1990s were a relatively peaceful time of prosperity. For most of the 1990s, Bill Clinton was president, the first baby boomer to live in the White House as the commander-in-chief. The Berlin Wall, the prime symbol of the Cold War, fell in November 1989, and Germany was reunited in 1990 after 45 years of separation. The Cold War officially ended with the fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991, and it seemed as if a new era had dawned.

In the article, Clinton’s Candidacy Defined by Conflicting Portraits by Albert R. Hunt, it summarizes the image that Hillary Clinton portrays throughout her political campaign in the view of other people. As a person, Hillary seems to be very intelligent an above all things very knowledgeable on topics about foreign issues. Even so, she has her faults because some of her actions are suspicious and overall dangerous in that not she does not do tasks properly. Her faults carry into her political campaign too since she lacks the potential to be persuasive and have keen political instincts. This seems to be the contrary of her husband Bill Clinton and President Obama, but even so in the eyes of others she seems to listen to the people and focus more on the inside workings of politics which can also seem just as important. Hillary does have her benefits and faults however even so; she does seem to be more liberal overall.

After an all-night debate, Brazil’s Senate voted Thursday morning to suspend President Dilma Rousseff and begin an impeachment trial against her, ousting a deeply unpopular leader whose sagging political fortunes have come to embody widespread public anger over systemic corruption and a battered
