OK people~ get your facts straight as you are attempting to claim something that is in fact in clearly in error.
I vote you for Poster Of The Year (exactly 18 years almost to the day after Clinton impeachment).

"As the anti-Hillary advocate I lol-its-good4U now pardon and release Hillary from running for POTUS and sparing the people to hear more of her lies".

"She can go home now and service her husband".



On a serious note: In the House and Senate we need people of principle as well who have morals and values to actually vote for and follow through with any viable impeachment. Nothing like these type people in government has existed for "eeoons" now.

Hilarious - thanks for adding to the comedy in this thread. The argument is moot because though Clinton was impeached he was not convicted. Impeachment means to indict or charge an official in the lower house. Clinton was tried and acquitted in the Senate. You can't pardon an impeachment because it's simply the bringing forth of the charges and since he was acquitted there is nothing to pardon there either.

This is so silly! Clinton was charged by the House of Representatives of high crimes and misdemeanors but was acquitted of all charges by the U.S. Senate. This scenario would be like asking if a defendant could be pardoned after a jury finds them not guilty.

Since four Presidents faced impeachment or at least the possibility and none was ever found guilty, of course Nixon most likely would have been the first, I would suggest that your type of people in government never existed.

Uh, nope.....those of us that respect the office of the Presidency demand and deserve the same respect from the office holder no matter who that person is.

That is the contract we as voters make with candidates....IMHO

As for her, if she gets that far in the process, I wonder if it would be the first person elected to the office that is under multiple investigations by Congress?

Actually you need to get your facts straight because.....

You are absolutely wrong.

The US House votes to Impeach.
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Clinton was Impeached with two charges
The US Senate Then Holds Trial on the charges brought forth from the Impeachment.
The US Senate acquitted Bill Clinton
