Limited Government – Clinton
Impeached

December 19, 1998 President William Clinton was impeached on
charges of perjury (lying under oath) and obstruction of justice.

President Clinton had been undergoing an investigation of an
alleged inappropriate relationship with a white house intern,
Monica Lewinski

Clinton testified that he “did not have sexual relations with that
woman”

The House impeached Clinton, however the Senate latter
acquitted . He was ordered by a federal judge to pay a $90, 000
fine for his willful failure to testify truthfully.

Clinton was also disciplined by the Arkansas Supreme Court
and was put on a five-year suspension
+
How is This Limited Government?

This example demonstrates that even the
President is not above the law and is subject to
the scrutiny of the Legislative Branch and the
People

Furthermore it illustrates the procedures for
legal proceedings of an executive member
accused of wrong doing.

Impeachments must be brought by the House
and voted on by the Senate (a power granted by
the US Constitution)
