.<< Second, they don't put you under oath and ask you about your drug-using, philandering past>> Yes, they did ask about past or present drug use, under oath. They also asked other people about those issues and sexual leanings - I have no idea why, but they did. <<And even if they did, the only way they would know whether it was true or not would be if you were very frank with them. >> They seek corroboration from outside sources - that's the whole purpose of a background check. Of course my friends could lie for me - that's the whole point behind the suborning perjury charge for Clinton. The difference in my situation, was that while I was questioned under oath, my friends were not. <<let's be serious>> I agree - the President is the most powerful man in the world. He should be held to a higher standard than the average man, because he has more power and responsibility than the average man. <<I just don't think we want to be in a society that hooks everyone up to lie detectors or puts them under oath to uncover every deception and white lie they have buried away. >> I agree wholeheartedly.
