POPSWhere Are They Now: The Clinton Impeachment
Elected twice without ever achieving the majority of the popular vote, President Clinton become the only elected president in the history of the U.S. to be impeached, disbarred from practicing law, and accused of rape by a credible witness. As a chief beneficiary of President Reagan's world vision and the high technology boom of the 1990s, President Clinton enjoyed many of the benefits of residing over relative peace and prosperity. Beneath this thin veneer of economic prosperity, however, existed the most corrupt and scandalous administration in history. Consensual sex may be a private matter, but when a sexual relationship influences a public court case involving the President of the United States, the consensual sex becomes publicly relevant. The Clinton administration holds the all-time record for having the greatest number of associates who have: resigned under fire, pleaded the Fifth, fled the country, gone to jail, or died under mysterious circumstances.
