"It seems improbable that it would be perfectly legal to take a 17 year old page to bed (and even considered honorable in Martha's Vinyard) but illegal to talk dirty to them. But we are a nation of laws." It has not been a question of laws but ethics. A young page is in a position of vulnerability among the most powerful people in the country. The conduct was lecherous to say the least. He was not removed from office by law, he resigned in dishonor. If we are not going to hold our representatives to any standard of honor and ethics, then the rest of us have nothing legitimate claim with regards to constitutional principle upon which to stand and I vote we disband altogether.
