Again, the Constitution is shown to be a flawed document held ransom by the party in power. Checks and balances in the writing do not actually work well enough. Problematic are the inherent issues of personal integrity and aplomb of the individuals elected to high office who often replicate lemmings rather than the animals that they are (excepting Sen. Mitt Romney, in the instant case). Under a preponderance of evidence to the contrary and testimony forbidden, the fool in the White House has evaded justice.
How can this change? Well, we have something called the power of the ballot. When an obvious, hugely defective person covets high office it is our responsibility to ensure that he or she does not actually acquire it. Simple, eh? It is true now and it was true in 1992, when Bill Clinton was interviewed by the often-vacuous Barbara Walters about his dalliances with Gennifer Flowers. He lied then and in federal proceedings later. Had he resigned office George Bush would likely have never unseated a President Al Gore; the invasion of Iraq would most likely have not happened and the resulting chain of events eliminating the current crises. Shakespeare wrote: “All are punish’d.”
