I mean if she wants to play the 35 yrs. experience then why don't we bring up this experience. Obama actually has been in the senate longer than she has; this truely is her ONLY political experience.How come the fact that Hillary's former husband was the only president to actually be impeached?
AND Hill has the distinction of being the first first lady to be subpoenaed by a grand jury...how cool is that (not very)?!
Ya, he is still her husband and then there was Andrew J, impeached.How come the fact that Hillary's former husband was the only president to actually be impeached?
Bill Clinton is not her former husband...and I think Andrew Johnson was also impeached.
Obama 2008
Andrew Johnson was impeached also.
uh.. actually i think that andrew johnson was impeached. he was the first us president to be impeached
Your question alone shows your knowledge of politics is equal to far less than Obamas experience, which in itself is pretty sad. First of all, Bill Clinton is her husband, not her ';former husband'; and secondly he was not the only persident to ever be impeached, not even the first actually. (Andrew Johnson was) AND even though he was ';impeached'; he was also acquitted. Please do our country a HUGE favor and DON'T VOTE!!! My 17 year old knows more about US History and Current Events than you do!!
can we punish you for your mothers neglectful treatment in denying you an education?
That's my boy, your ignorance of history is a fine example of my school programs. Here is a cookie, now go shopping!
perjury and obstruction of justice. no small potatoes.
First of all, Andrew Johnson was also impeached, so you are wrong on that account. And both of them were cleared of the impeachment. Nixon was charged with impeachment, but he resigned before it went to trial.
Second of all, Hillary Clinton was elected in November of 2000. Re-elected in November of 2006. Obama was elected in November of 2004. So how could you even come up with the fact that Obama has been in the senate longer.
I am a Democrat; I currently support Senator Clinton but would love to have Senator Obama as our President as well. But you really need to have your facts straight. Not only has Senator Clinton served longer in the Senate. She has had many years of public service as the first lady of the United States (to her current, not former husband), the first lady of Arkansas (again, current husband) and served on numerous boards and has been an advocate for health care and women's rights probably longer than you have been around. I was fortunate enough to get to see her speak at the 1996 Democratic National Convention and her compassion for the length of hospital stay for new mothers and breast cancer patients brought tears to my eyes. It is long over-due for the United States to have an African American President, but it is equally over-due for the US to have a Woman as President. And the fact that she is married to one of the best Presidents the United States has ever had is just bonus points for all of us.
Two U.S. presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth chief executive, and William J. Clinton, the forty-second.
Johnson, a Southern Democrat who became president after Lincoln's assassination, supported a mild policy of Reconstruction after the Civil War.
Certain Republicans in Congress were furious at his leniency toward ex-Confederates and obvious lack of concern for ex-slaves, demonstrated by his veto of civil rights bills and opposition to the Fourteenth Amendment. To protect Radical Republicans in Johnson's administration and diminish the strength of the president, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act in 1867, which prohibited the president from dismissing office holders without the Senate's approval.
A defiant Johnson tested the constitutionality of the Act by attempting to oust Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.
His violation of the Act became the basis for impeachment in 1868. But the Senate was one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict, and Johnson was acquitted May 26, 1868.
Reason he was ONLY one impeached?
Because Republicans think being the panty police is more important than their own party lying to the country regarding matters of War, and destroying the Geneva Conventions, and running this country 9 TRILLION DOLLARS into debt.
