It seems nobody knows that he was sucsefully impeached. They all think it was an "attempted" impeachment. He WAS impeached for liing to a grand jury. If Hillary wins he would be the first impeached first lady... What would that tell the world. America elected a President who is married to a man who was himself impeached for commiting adultry and lying about it.

Steve C - Certainly wont help it. And she is running on the "fact" that she plans to send Bill "around the world to fix our image". What is sending an impeached former president going to do?

I didnt say he was removed from office. I said he was impeached. This is a fact. Only two presidents have been impeached Clinton and Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson also completed his term. But since some want to go beyond the question asked... let me add this Clinton was disbarred in Arkansas and was forced to resign from the Supreme COurt bar as well. My point is simple, Bill Clinton is not what this country needs for its public image going forward

LOL... perfect example, look down at the second answer by "Booman", 3 people rated his answer thumbs down! He just pointed out the actual charges! Man, dems are just so in denail about this. It is because if Bill's history is made public, like how he had Bin Laden in 1996 and let him go, Hillary is done.

Impeachment is congress holding a hearing to find out if the President has committed a crime.
Congress found that Clinton did not.
So, while articles of impeachment were brought against him, he was acquitted.
It's the same as the difference between being charged of a crime and found not guilty or being convicted of a crime.

I agree that many are confused about his impeachment, thinking that since the Senate acquitted him, he wasn't impeached. On the other hand, those that do understand it also know it was simply the most blatant abuse of politics most of us have ever witnessed, as his actions did not warrant impeachment, and it was only the Republican control of the House that allowed it to happen.
If you're really afraid that him being part of an administration will reflect poorly on us in the rest of the world, don't be. The rest of the world was more concerned not with his actions but rather that he was even charged because of those actions. They held it not against him, but those who attacked him. We'd have nothing to worry about.

Not quite, he was impeached, that is brought up on charges in the House of Representatives, he was acquitted in the Senate.
Adultery was never a charge.
And its President Bush who has used both Bill and his father to represent us in several cases, like the tsunami.

The rest of the world likes Billy Clinton, whereas GW is probably one of the most hated people on the planet.

Hillary wants to send our best LIAR to fix our image. Like the rest of the world doesn't know he lied to a grand jury. That's like Bush sending Scooter Libbey to Pakistan to fix our image. Scooter still in prison, Bill Clinton just paid his fines, our fair and just legal system working hard for us.

Most of the worlds leaders have been blown in the presidential palaces and offices and only Americans would be so sexually repressed that they could not handle the truth .
I have heard military people say how can they respect and follow the orders of a man who has been blown in the White house and compromised the office of the president .
