<<He would resign.>> It's here, he wont, he's a liar, get used to it, or get over it. Oh, it seems you already did.

<<If Clinton was guilty of rape or other high crimes, we wouldn't have to go thru the impeachment process>> That begs the question somewhat, and I'm not sure you're correct. It would be easier to fight those types of charges if you have the resources of the Presidency behind you, than it would be from a jail cell. However, is your beef with the impeachment process in general (not in relation to the current crisis) or just with its use for the current set of circumstances? <<How about you? Do you want this nation rocked by two years of political infighting>> That would depend. I don't believe impeachment is the correct venue for the current accusations (I think a criminal court would be more appropriate, after Clinton leaves office), but I could easily see my way to supporting impeachment for using the IRS or the FBI to intimidate opponents. That sort of use of a secret police, so to speak, is a truly frightening abuse of power. Again, I am not saying Clinton did that, only that if that is what was found for any President, I would support impeaching that President.
