I think the country would be spared a lot of agony and the government could worry about inflation and a lot of other problems if he'd resign.'' Again in 1974: ``I think the definition of impeachment should include any criminal act plus willful failure of the President to fulfill his duty to uphold and execute the laws of the United States. And another factor that I think constitutes an impeachable offense would be willful, reckless behavior in office.'' In 1992: ``I think trust and trustworthiness is an issue in this campaign, and I think I've demonstrated it in my life.'' Again in 1992: ``I'm concerned by any action which sends a signal that if you work for the government, you're above the law, or not telling the truth to Congress, under oath, is somehow less serious than not telling the truth to some other body, under oath.''
