I have thought that if we carry this debate to the sought after conclusion, that Clinton would resign or be impeached, it would be bad for the country. Two reasons, really. One is that Al Gore would be President. I just don't see him as being an effective President. The second relates to the law of unintended consequences. When Nixon was forced to resign, we got two good years of a Gerald Ford Presidency. But, as a direct result of the country's bad feelings toward Nixon (and therefore Republicans), Ford could not beat Jimmy Carter in 1976. I have always felt that was the country's loss. Jimmy Carter was a nice guy with great morals who was not a very effective President.

Now I'm starting to think that maybe Clinton's resignation would be the best thing anyway. That he is guilty of lots of sleazy activity is obvious. And his continual denials are getting old. So, maybe getting rid of him would be the best. I would caution, however, that it wouldn't be all peaches and cream, just because he was gone.
