A propos de cet article

xiii, 234 p. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. One of the Studies in Government & Public Policy series. Why did congressional Republicans obsessively pursue the impeachment of President Bill Clinton when the 1998 midterm elections and public opinion polls suggested that the majority of Americans opposed it? Some claimed indignation over perjury, others outrage over immorality. But as Nicol Rae and Colton Campbell show, the driving force behind the impeachment was nothingless than the intensifying partisanship of American politics.

The authors unravel the web of partisan politics to reveal how the pattern of events was determined, from the decision to open an impeachment inquiry to the eventual acquittal of the president. Rae and Campbell also look a the Judiciary Committee proceedings from the perspective of the Democratic minority, who helped shape media coverage and public opinion and the eventual Senate outcome. They show how the Senate was able to bring closure to this highly polarizing proceeding. Overdramatized by the media, the Clinton impeachment process wasnevertheless the most extreme manifestation of partisan warfare in our time. The authors special contribution here is to greatly expand our understanding not only of a particular constitutional crisis but also of a dynamic that st. Good. No dust jacket as issued.
