Changes

Like the Republicans, the Democrats are currently selecting their candidate for the 2008  presidential election; the front-runners in the contest are Senator [[Hillary Clinton]] of [[New York]] and Senator [[Barack Obama]] of [[Illinois]]. The most recent president that was a Democrat was [[Bill Clinton]], who served from 1993 to 2001. In his second term he was impeached by the Republican controlled House of Representatives for lying under oath in a civil case that ended in a large out of court settlement, a reproach from the presiding judge, and his disbarment from the [[Arkansas]] Bar, however, the Senate failed to clarify what is meant by "high crimes and misdeamenors".

The most recent Democratic President was [[Bill Clinton]], who served from 1993 to 2001. In his second term he was impeached by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives for lying under oath (about committing adultery) in a civil case that ended in a large out of court settlement, a reproach from the presiding judge, and his disbarment from the [[Arkansas]] Bar; however, the resulting "innocent" verdict seems to have set the precedent that lying under oath about marital infidelity does not qualify under the banner of "high crimes and misdemeanors."
