"House approves impeachment inquiry"

This article reports about approval of President Clinton's impeachment inquiry. Oct. 8.98, The House authorized a impeachment inquiry of President Clinton. The investigation was approved by a 258-176 vote. In a debate, Democrats argued to limit the investigation to the Monica Lewinsky affair and finish it by year's end. However, Republicans, that wants to include Water-gate inquiry, rejected it. Under the same ideas, Republicans showed united opinions but Democrats displayed their divisions in the debate. Presidential impeachment inquiry was authorized 2times before Clinton's : Richard Nixon(1974), Andrew Johnson(1868).

I chose this article because I am very interest in President Clinton's case. Also, now, it is the hottest issue in U.S. Clinton has been bothered by gossips since Pola Jones(?) accused him. Finally he faced the situation that had to testify in front of Camera. After that, there were some consideration about Clinton's impeachment. Therefore, personally, I was very wonder about impeachment that would be or not. This case is really interesting to me because I am not American. It is just like a "movie". Also, however, as a student who is studying History, I am concerning how Americans will solve this problem. Personally, I agree with that Clinton shouldn't have lied under the oath. Moreover it is important to prove what truth is. However, Americans should think about his economical, social and international reputation. In addition, WHY AMERICANS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO KENNEDY AND OTHERS?
