The Clinton scandal occupied the nation for more than a year. The media were consumed by the story, the president preoccupied while the special prosecutor was occupied, the Congress engaged while the public was disengaged. In this volume, we have invited leading scholars to discuss various aspects of the Clinton scandal and its enduring legacy. This section also includes essays on the doctrine of executive priviledge, on the standards for impeachment, its impact on American government more generally. The second section focuses on political perspectives.
Chapters discuss public opinion, the media, presidential personality, and presidential character.
