“The articles incorporate language which clearly condemns and, in effect, censures the President. I quote from the articles: "In all of this William Jefferson Clinton has undermined the integrity of his office and has brought disrepute on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as President, and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice to the manifest injury of the people of the United States." This language appears in all four articles of impeachment. The article also states that he has, "violated his constitutional duty", and "willfully corrupted and manipulated the judicial process." If this language were considered on its own, it clearly would be considered a condemnation and censure of the President.”
