DougH- Congress has no power to "indict" the President I hate to get technical, but the House "indicts" the president with a majority vote. If he is "indicted", the senate then rules as jury with the Chief Justice presiding as judge. The senate would then need 2/3 to "convict". I hope Clinton is so selfish he doesn't resign so we can see our Constitution in action. (I just saw your last post. I really don't have time to go back, but at this point I think we're splitting hairs).

>>Congress has no power to "indict" the President. See, don't go after the ticky-tack stuff because we all live in glass houses. >>> What do you think an impeachment proceeding is if not an indictment? Look the word up in the dictionary. It says "To accuse of a crime or other offense." Therefore if an impeachment isn't an indictment I don't know what is. Either way, the OIC will not be leading it nor will it have any involvement in it from a judicial standpoint as you want us to believe. Let's be frank, to say that "Starr is going to file a report with Congress detailing high crimes and misdemeanors that he believes may warrant impeachment by Congress" is the most disingenuous and downright dishonest statement you have made yet. Mr. Starr has never claimed that he believes that the President should be impeached nor has he made any public statement along these lines. Neither has he made any public claims whatsoever that the President is guilty of anything. Those are your words and your beliefs only. What makes it look so bad is that at every turn the President reloads, aims down at the ground and blows a hole in his foot. He had best be careful, with that foot so firmly lodged in his mouth, well...let's not go into that. If you are going to speak for the independent council would you be so kind as to show me where Mr. Starr has said that he believes the President warrants impeachment from Congress? At every turn the man has said in a straight forward manner that he is trying to find out the truth and that is all. If the truth hurts Mr. Clinton and gets him impeached then so be it.
