This is not an opinion article. This is the summaries of the Articles of Impeachment against former President Clinton and current President Bush and are in the Congressional Record for readers to read and compare and draw their own conclusions. I chose links to details that I believed were the most readable. You can also go directly to the Congressional Record. Draw your own conclusions. And feel free to cut and email the list to anyone you wish. If you have a Federal legislator who voted to impeach Clinton, please send the list to that person and ask him to do the same for the sitting president.

Draw your own conclusions. Pass the list on.
