Would Thomas Jefferson have been impeached if he did what Clinton did while in office?

Question

If they asked him, do you think he would have told them "yes, I did it!". Oh, did people do that sort of thing in those days?
(I bet they did!)

humm Im not a Republican. I simply asked a question. Bored I guess. Not picking on Clinton. I happen to like him. I don't care what he did. I'm younger than his daughter. I remain angry with him however. With all of the hoopla surrounding what he did, I still can't figure out why he didn't tell all of those republican ------'s to just mind their own business!

Answer 1

I don't think it would have ever hit the papers. For decades Presidents have been able to do exactly as they please and the press would turn a blind eye, like with Kennedy.

Answer 2

Intelligent question, ruined by slander of the President. Give it time. Impeachment means nothing if there is no conviction. That requires proof that is clear beyond Party lines. The new officeholders have had no chance to see that evidence. By the way, Clinton lied under oath, which is perjury. This is the charge he faced during his impeachment, not adultery. The unanimous NO vote by Democrats saved him from conviction. I agree he was a good President because he worked in a bi-partisan manner

Answer 3

Who cares? Why all the debate about Clinton again? We have other things we ought to concern ourself with, with the Current Administration.

How about this: Muslim terrorists defeat laws of physics!!

In 1991, a fire in Philadelphia burned for 18 hours; in 2004, a fire in Caracas burned for 17 hours. But neither fire produced even a partial collapse. However; the World Trade Center’s north and south towers burned only 102 and 56 minutes, respectively, before they collapsed. WTC 7, moreover, had fires on only a few floors, according to several witnesses and all the photographic evidence.

Answer 4

Here we go again with Bill Clinton, you Republicans always trying to divert peoples mind away from that man that stole 2 election and our troops being murdered , do think Abraham Lincoln would have said yes to all these Constitutions that Bush has broken , I bet he would have said no. Oh, did people do that sort of things in those days. I bet they didn't.
Clinton had a little oral sex, Bush had a big bunch of committing murder in these days they go to prison for murder in these days not oral sex, don't they?.

Answer 5

Of course Thomas Jefferson was accused of doing that sort of thing with Sally Hemings, but nobody was rude enough to ask him about it, and he probably would have denied it or said it was none of peoples' business, which is what Clinton should have said.

Answer 6

Yes ; and his bones would have rotted in a cell if he did everything else the Clinton's logged on their "to do " list in the White House .

Answer 7

Thomas Jefferson had slaves & had sex with them & therefore children with a lot of his slaves, which is why there are so many black folks with the last name "Jefferson". Does that answer your question?

Answer 8

No, because nobody would have heard about it because they didn't have a 24 hour news cycle. He would have had a much bigger problem with Sally Hemmings. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Answer 9

go back to JFK,, he was popular with Americans,, a good President,, but he also cheated on his wife,, in 1964,, the right wing Christian Republicans were just getting started with their moral majority gig

Answer 10

If he perjured himself in a court of law then yes.
