Mclntyre to Vote No on Impeachment of President Clinton Congressman Mike Mclntyre has decided to vote no on Impeachment of Bill Clinton. He released the following statement relative to that decision: . * "After a tremendous amount of careful study and deliberation, 1 have concluded that the President's ac iions, wnne wrong and reprehensible, do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses as de fined by the United States Constitution, As a member of the United States House of Representatives, it has been my solemn task over the past few months not only to review the accusations of perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power put forth by the Office of the Independent Counsel and subsequently the House Judiciary Committee, but also-and even more importantly? to determine if those actions warranted the continuation of a long and expensive process that could result in the removal of President Clinton from office. The framers of the Constitution intended impeachement to be used only in the event of actions that fundamentally impair the ability of the President to carry out the functioningo f the ex ecutive office of the United. States and to protect the citizens of our country from threats to our national sovereignty and security. Thereofre, moving forward with the impeachment process against President CLinton is not consistent with the intent of the United States Constitution. "Voting against impeachment, however, does not represent the conclusion of this matter. The Constitution draws a very specific .distinction between the ability of the legislative branch to impeach a PResident and the ability ofo ur judicial system to punish a citizen for breaking the law. Artile I, Section 3 of the United States Constitution clearly states that regardless of any action taken by Congress, a president shall, 'neverhteless be liable and subject to indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishment, according to Law.' Therefore, should a credible case be presented by the Office of the Independent Cousnel,. Presidednet Clinton on willbe subject to the same consequences for perjury upon leaving office as any other citizen of this nation accused of perjury. A full investigation of this matter by our judicial system is not only consistent with, butr also preserves the rule of law governing perjury. "By his own admission, what President Clinton has done is wrong. I But impeachment is very serious and reserved only for those cases in which the very structure of government is threatened. Applying it in the case of personal indiscretion is not only inconsistent with the intent of the Constitution which allows for impeachment in the case of'Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," but has also been considered and dismissed by the Houseo f Representatives in previous debates. For example, in 1974, the House Judiciary Committee passed three articles of impeachment against Presidedent Richard Nixon but failed to approve a fourth article of impeachment that dealt with allegations of tax fraud, deciding that actions of personal indiscretions would be better dealt with by other avenues outside of the impeachment process. It is very important to note that while the Constitution provides a "good Behavior' clause for the consideration of impeachment of federal judges, no such clause exists for impeachment of a presdient. Thus, while President Clinton s behavior is indefensible, imepacihng him is the wrong punishment. Chyna Marie Scott was crowned Wee Miss Holiday on Saturday, November 21,1998.
