America was additionally accused of attempting to divert attention away from the highly controversial Monica Lewinski scandal facing the American government at that time as the media immediately replaced coverage of the controversy with information on the Kosovo intervention. The evidence supporting the ulterior motives of the United States’ intervention would thus not comply…
Clinton still kept in touch with Monica and tried to find her a job. Vernon Jordan who is the president’s secretary and Betty Currie also tried to find Lewinsky a job. In 1998, Clinton denied having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky but just months later he admits to the relationship. October of 1998 is when the impeachment trial began against Clinton. Two months later, Clinton was impeached on two of the four articles.…
Background: These presidents made an impact in the United States of America. They were successful and some were not too successful. President Richard Nixon, President Gerald Ford, President Jimmy Carter and President Ronald Reagan were presidents that were big in history. President Richard Nixon…
Proving that Clinton was largely to blame, Karen Popp notes that the president was definitely a part of this whole ordeal. She goes on to say that “There can be no doubt that President Clinton’s reckless and careless personal conduct with Monica Lewinsky contributed to the events of 1998 and 1999” (224). This just goes to show that Clinton had a big hand in the entire issue. If he would not…
From lawyer to President, Gerald Ford did amazing things. Ford became the 38th President after Nixon was forced to resign following his involvment in the Watergate Scandal. This was a major struggle for the United States. President Ford was credited with comforting the nation and helping rebuild the government during this difficult time. Ford's early life, early political career, presidency, and later life are all important topics that will be discussed.…
The day after a long 4th of July weekend for Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey announced the Bureau recommends to the DOJ “no charges are appropriate in this case.” Director Comey’s announcement comes just a couple of days after the FBI interviewed Clinton for 3 1/2 hours. As liberating as the announcement may be to Clinton, it left a bizarre avenue for criticism and still found the Secretary was guilty of “careless” wrongdoing. For her carelessness, Comey said Clinton might be “subject to security or administrative sanctions” but that decision wasn’t being made during their investigation.…
As stated by Wendy McElroy, “Having shrewdly used his [President Clinton] personal life to further his political career, Clinton cannot object when others question whether the carefully scripted images are accurate.” (Source B). Clinton leaked staged instances to the public which are false and should be framed for lying. Being a public figure and lying to the public is unjust on himself and society. He shouldn’t go unpunished if he has lied to the public.…
Although as President, Clinton was a role model and leader, his main job was to run a country, and he was successfully doing that. Clinton’s actions were unpresidential, but as long as he was doing his job, his personal affairs shouldn’t be the reason he had to leave office. Lying under oath is bad, but it was not about something very important and was just a bid to cover up his affair. Moshe was impeached by God for hitting the rock and refusing to listen to Hashem. I believe Moshe was rightfully impeached because he had Hashem right by his side and still chose to ignore him.…
For this reason he was rejected from the American public thus preventing him from succeeding as President! The Clintons had entered into a real estate venture, arguably a sweetheart deal in which their potential for loss was minimized (although the proposition was so goofy that they did eventually lose some money) with some shady characters who were simultaneously looting a local savings and loan institution (Klein, 2003). Between January 3, 1994 and August 3, 1994, President Clinton addressed the “Whitewater” matter in the course of seven press/media appearances (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). Kenneth Starr was originally appointed to investigate a failed Arkansas real estate deal involving the Clintons almost 20 years after the fact, Starr 's scope expanded over time to include a bewildering range of accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and abuse of power allegedly involving President Clinton and the first lady, as well as some of their closest friends and advisers (Washington Post, 1998). A fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan McDougal, some of which went into…
There has always been a shroud of fog around the personal matters of the Clinton’s, but underneath that shroud there is a hidden evil that is incomparable to any other American politician. The Clinton’s have been involved in many conspicuous affairs including White Water and the Ives/Henry case. They also have been involved in around 100 deaths of people close to them or people who worked for them. They have used witness intimidation and other scare tactics to harass witnesses into not testifying, and if they don’t agree, they are normally dead within days. Because of the amount of Clinton body guards that have been killed, the Ives Henry case, Whitewater, and the amount of the Clinton’s fellow party members that have died around them, it is…
In this paper I will argues that the impeachment of President Clinton was a strategy conducted by the Republican leadership in an attempt to manipulate public opinion and how it represented the politicization of the process. Through secondary source analysis and statistical analysis of polling results culminated with the development of the Republican Party reorientation in the early 1990’s, this paper will be able to demonstrate the true nature behind the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In order to best formulate a nuanced argument, first we will review past-scholarly literature conducted on several main themes relating to the impeachment. Following this will be the review and explanation of the Republican Party’s transition in the early-1990’s and how this affected policy relations in Congress. Then we will briefly give an accurate timeline in the impeachment proceedings, from the onset of allegations until the senate acquittal.…
One of the events in the story of the United States that affected me was the impeachment of Bill Clinton. As an immigrant who came from a Country where they practically don’t have laws, a Country which Capital is considered the second most dangerous city in the World, and 98% of murders remain unresolved, it really amazed me the fact that a President of the United States of America could be impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998 for Perjury and obstruction of Justice, after he lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, the fact that I had to watch the ex-President Bill Clinton in a court was something that make me understand better the new culture where I am living now, I understand we are a Country of laws, and no one could escape…
Richard Nixon was in one of the most controversial issues that the United States has ever seen. The Watergate Scandal is now well known throughout history today. This issue led to Nixon resigning only 2 years in his 2nd term. Did President Nixon make the right decisions? Can anyone really trust the government after a situation like this?…
The Watergate scandal may have been over but its effect could still be felt all across America. The revelations within the scandal shed light to some new concerns and apprehensions the American people had about their government. Rightly so, the scandal embarrassed and damaged the political and legal professions within Washington, and the effects of the Watergate scandal changed the way the American people perceived their country’s political and authoritative figures. It was not long after, that investigations into political misconduct and presidential allegations became the new standard pattern in Washington D.C, and displayed that the Watergate scandal had changed politics in America…
Dear. Editor In the recent debate with Hillary and Donald was a constant blabber of the email incident and the sex tape scandal. I enjoy the quote that Donald said, " I never had a failure, Mr. Trump said in one of the interviews, despite his repeated corporate bankruptcies and business setbacks, because I always turned a failure into a success. " This quote intrigues me since Donald Trump do not have the necessary comeback in defending his reputation to become the president of United States.…
