Terms Of Endearment And Articles Of Impeachment, Charles W. Collier Aug 2015

Terms Of Endearment And Articles Of Impeachment, Charles W. Collier

Charles W. Collier

It is a long-established principle that presidential impeachment is an appropriate remedy only for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” of a public nature (with the possible exception of private crimes so heinous that the President “cannot be permitted to remain at large”). The crux of this Essay's argument is that the President's affair with Monica Lewinsky was a private matter that was not rendered “public” simply because Mr. Clinton lied about it. With its vote against removing the President, the Senate seemed to agree.


The Impeachment Trial Of President William Clinton, Douglas O. Linder Jan 2007

The Impeachment Trial Of President William Clinton, Douglas O. Linder

Faculty Works

In 1999, for only the second time in United States history, the Senate conducted an impeachment trial of a President. The acquittal of William Jefferson Clinton on February 12 came as no great surprise, given the near party-line vote on impeachment charges in the House of Representatives leading to the trial. The impeachment saga of President Clinton has its origins in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought in Arkansas in May, 1994 by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee. Lawyers for Clinton argued that the Jones suit would distract him from the important tasks of his office and should not …

The divided panel decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in /n re Lindsey, 158 F.3d 1263 (D.C. Cir.), cert. denied, 119 S.

Although the court of appeals in at least four previous decisions had held that a government agency client holds the same privilege any other client would under like circumstances to communicate with counsel in private, the Lindsey court took a quite different view.
