An Admiral or 2nd lieutenant could expect a court-martial for Clinton's behaviour.


And a court-martial can impost a far worse penalty then the Senate could have in the impeachment trial.

Why should a law against sexual harassment apply to me but not the President?
Lewinsky charged Clinton with sexual harassment? Huh, I never realised that was what he was impeached for...

Harassment wasn't the crime. Nor is a consensual BJ a crime - if it is, than plainly it's the law out of step with human beings (admirals or otherwise).

That argument might pass, except that Clinton's predecessor and successor don't display this problem.
Quote me in full context and your argument is answered.
