Should Bill Clinton have been removed?

Debates


As we all know, Bill Clinton was impeached over his wrong doings involving women, but he was never removed from office.

Should he have been removed, or maybe should he have resigned?


Bill Clinton was not impeached for his wrong doings with women

He perjured himself about lying regarding his dealings with women.

He had an affair with an intern. Is this not despicable enough on its own?

Then take into account all the accusations against him from other women. One recently came out and said Bill raped her.

Knowing all this, should he have been removed from office?

Consensual?

She was his intern.

Is having sex with people you work with acceptable even though they say it was "consensual"?

No, it's not acceptable, because it could lead to an abuse of power that results in a non-.consensual relationship.

Such people should be thrown in jail.

They do it to teachers so why not other people as well?

"They do it to teachers"? Do you mean teachers who have sex with minors?

Are you comparing a consensual affair between adults to statutory rape?

Age of consent is 16 in many states.

A young female teacher, about 22 was arrested for having sex with a 16 year old guy.

If she worked at a law office or a gas station then no arrest would have been made.

Teachers can be put in jail for having sex with 18 year olds.

You'll need to post a link. Don't make such claims without sources.

16 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault.

Should he be impeached or resign?
