    Clinton's presidency was a seemingly long hard road. During his second term as President, He was impeached due to charges of lying under oath to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. However, the real underlying reason for the impeachment was Clinton’s denial of the Lewinsky Affair.

During this disastrous era, First Nations people were brutally beaten by the law and rules, but the government never relented; in fact, they only went on harder.

Broaddrick’s rape allegations have surfaced twice, once when Bill Clinton was running for presidency in 1992, and another one during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016.
