"zipper door" incident
Clinton, an American president who made a public statement because of the sensitive word [sex]: Lewinsky, an ordinary-looking White House intern, almost pulled Clinton off the presidency with her outstanding achievements; Hillary Clinton, synonymous with a strong woman, showed the generosity and elegance of a good wife in the case of her husband's scandal. Whether it's a justified wife or secret love, it's all about Clinton as a man. This celebrity, who has always been in high spirits in politics, is also very popular in his private life, so what kind of charm does he have? This album introduces how Clinton grew from a poor posthumous child to one of the greatest presidents in American history. As a student, Clinton showed his interest in politics and outstanding leadership everywhere. After entering the society, he worked step by step, from the governor to the president, which was the political road he designed for himself since he was a child. During his eight years in charge of the White House, the economic growth and political status of the United States showed his political talent, but those endless scandals also exposed the ugly side of his nature. However, in an economy-led environment, his achievements saved him from impeachment caused by scandals. I have to say here that Clinton is a contradictory person. VCD programs use vivid video materials to truly reproduce what Clinton was like in the scandal, and at the same time reveal the true story of impeachment of Clinton. Let you face the awkward Clinton and get a closer look at Clinton's ability to deal with problems.
The whole story of President Clinton's impeachment case
199810/0/0. On 8 October, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution by 258 votes to 176, approving a formal impeachment investigation against President Clinton, with no time and scope restrictions. As a result, Clinton became the third president in American history to be impeached and investigated. The motion put forward by the US House of Representatives for a formal impeachment investigation against Clinton is based on the report of American independent prosecutor Starr, in which Starr accused President Clinton of perjury, obstruction of judicial justice, abuse of power and other crimes, which can constitute the basis for impeachment.
Impeachment originated in Britain, which refers to the criminal proceedings brought by the legislature against government officials. 1376, the British Parliament confirmed the first impeachment cases. Later, the United States drew lessons from the impeachment procedure of Britain when formulating the constitution. Article 2, paragraph 4, of the U.S. Constitution stipulates: "The president, vice president and civil servants of the U.S. government shall be removed from office when they are impeached and convicted of treason, bribery or other felony and misdemeanor."
The procedure of impeaching officials in the United States is generally that the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives examines the evidence of the accusation to determine whether there is a basis for launching a formal impeachment investigation. For example, if a resolution is passed, a motion will be submitted to the House of Representatives to start a formal impeachment investigation. After the House of Representatives approved the motion to start impeachment proceedings, it authorized the Judicial Committee to conduct a formal impeachment investigation. After the investigation, if the Judicial Committee passes the formal impeachment clause, it will be submitted to the House of Representatives for voting, and the majority of the House of Representatives agrees to pass the impeachment; The impeached officials are tried by the Senate. If an official who may be impeached resigns voluntarily before or during impeachment, he will not be impeached. Like ordinary citizens, his problems will be accepted by ordinary courts according to the situation. If the object of impeachment is the president, the trial of the Senate shall be presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, with the representatives as both the prosecution and the defense and the senator as the jury. The Senate voted on the trial results: either "guilty" or "not guilty"; If it is determined to be "guilty", it must be agreed by a two-thirds majority of the senators present, otherwise it will be "not guilty". Once the Senate finds the president guilty, the president will be removed and replaced by the vice president.
