Impeachment is a very precisely defined term in the constitution that is very vaguely backed up. Although it is clear what the levy of impeachment imposes, the standards in which one can be charged against are not very clear. This is why the 1998 Clinton impeachment trial was one of the most controversial trials in our nation’s history. The House of Representatives voted faintly in favor of a trial of the impeachment of our 42nd president, Bill Clinton. Clinton was accused on multiple charged, perjury and the obstruction of administrative justice.

President William Clinton Facing Impeachment. President Bill Clinton was the forty second president of the U.S. His term lasted between 1993 and 2001 and was marked by financial prosperity. Although Clinton was the first baby boomer president, his reign was marked by an impeachment controversy. He went to U.S records for being the second American president to go through impeachment charges.

Impeachment was first used in the British political system in the second half of the 14th century, since then it has been used by many other countries including the United States. The House of Representatives has the sole power to impeach and the Senate has the power to try an impeachment. Both President Johnson and President Clinton were impeached and President Nixon resigned before he could be impeached. Impeachment is a charge of misconduct made against the holder of the public office. The constitution states that a person in power can be impeached for/ conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes of misdemeanors.

America’s political system has thrived for 230 years, but in one of the most polarizing elections in the nation’s history many Americans are disgusted with both candidates. Nevertheless, a candidate must be elected, so like all election cycles, public figures take to the campaign trail presenting their arguments for who should lead the nation come January. Peter Thiel represents one such figure. He is a member of the Silicon Valley elite – a captain of industry funding America’s future. At the Republican National Convention, Thiel presents a persuasive speech arguing a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for positive change.

Because the Supreme court ruled against the president, Richard Nixon was the first president to ever resign from office. Some say because of this political scandal parts of the government were “cleansed” or improved. Some of Nixon's aides were even sent to federal prison. Congress passed laws for campaign financing, government ethics and freedom of information.
