A few years ago, the president of the United States got caught having an affair with a White House intern. The media were all over the story. You couldn't open a newspaper or turn on the TV without seeing Monica Lewinsky. Monica Lewinsky recently said that even she was sick of seeing Monica Lewinsky.
So the House of Representatives voted to impeach. The charge: lying under oath, also called perjury.
In the end, the attempt to convict and remove Mr. Clinton from office failed, because if indiscretion were an impeachable offense, there wouldn't be many legislators left in the hallowed halls of Congress.
Today, we have a president who is, in effect, squatting in the White House. That is, illegally occupying it. His opponent in the election got a half million more votes than he did. He seized power by using the state government of Florida, commanded by his brother, and the Supreme Court, several members of which were appointed by his father.
This same president has dragged this country into war so far with two other nations. I believe this president directed the Armed Forces to attack Iraq knowing that there were no weapons of mass destruction there and that Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks.
