内容説明
The Clinton scandal consumed the better part of a year of American public life, bitterly dividing the nation and culminating in a constitutional crisis. In this volume, nonpartisan essays provide an insightful analysis of one of the major political events of the 1990s. Leading scholars explore the long-reaching constitutional and political implications of the scandal: how it may affect the presidency, the law and the political process. The first group of chapters considers effects of the scandal on institutions: the presidency, the Congress, the courts, the independent counsel statute, executive privilege and the impeachment process itself. A second section addresses political factors: public opinion, the media, and the presidential character and personality. A concluding essay broadly examines the implications of the scandal for governance.
These essays address such issues as risks posed to Congressional political careers, the prospect of future presidents being subject to civil law suits, the pros and cons of Kenneth Starr's investigation, the role of the media in breaking and then reshaping the story, and ways of reforming the system to handle the unacceptable private behaviour of future presidents.

内容説明
The Clinton scandal consumed the better part of a year of American public life, bitterly dividing the nation and culminating in a constitutional crisis. In this book, thoughtful, nonpartisan essays provide an insightful and lasting analysis of one of the major political events of our time. Here leading scholars explore the long-reaching constitutional and political implications of the scandal: how it will affect the presidency, the law, and the political process. A first group of chapters considers effects of the scandal on institutions: the presidency, Congress, the courts, the independent counsel statute, executive privilege, and the impeachment process itself. A second section addresses political factors: public opinion, the media, and presidential character and personality. A concluding essay broadly examines the implications of the scandal for governance.
These far-reaching essays address such issues as risks posed to Congressional political careers, the prospect of future presidents being subject to civil suits, the pros and cons of Kenneth Starr's investigation, the role of the media in breaking and then shaping the story, and ways of reforming the system to handle the unacceptable private behavior of future presidents. A provocative book for readers concerned with how our government copes with such a challenge, and an essential reader for courses on the presidency or American government, this collection will stand the tests of both time and rigorous analysis.
