legitimate and proper functions and processes of the executive branch: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved , That the Committee on the Judiciary is directed to investigate and report to
the House whether grounds exist to impeach William Jefferson Clinton, President of the

| Yes. H.Res. 304 was introduced
on November 5, 1997 and simply requires the House Committee on the Judiciary to
investigate. Recent events have demonstrated that there are indeed reasons to investigate. However,
because of recent admissions by the president, it is now time for the US House to go
further. They must take up their obligation to the citizens of this nation and start the
impeachment process. It would then be the responsibility of the Senate to remove him from
office.
During the Nixon era, Hillary Clinton was one of the many who argued from history that
"high crimes and misdemeanors" did not just mean the violation of a written law,
but the simple loss of credibility. President Nixon was accused of making "false or
misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United
States."
In an open letter on April 25, 1997, Representative Barr thanked Mrs. Clinton for her
work in 1974 (http://www.house.gov/barr/i_ltrhill.htm).
In it he states: "Even Alexander Hamilton finds a place in your research. You quote
from his Federalist No. 65 that impeachment relates to "misconduct of public men, or,
in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust" that is "of a
nature . . . political [emphasis in original]" (page 13 of your
report)."
Lying is a violation of a public trust. From Mrs. Clinton’s research, Mr. Clinton
has to go. |
