    Bill Clinton was not impeached for having sex. He was impeached for committing perjury while testifying as the defendant in a sexual harassment inquiry. The blowjob is just the thing he was lying about when he perjured himself. If he’d been convicted maybe it would be easier to hold presidents accountable today.

      Further, Bill Clinton was the President while Monica Lewinsky was an intern. There was a major power imbalance between then two.
