    I mean, any president of high-ranking government official, just like any private-sector CEO or manager, using their position of power to coerce an intern to doing sexual acts, is pretty serious. Not to mention with politicians in particular that such behavior becomes a national security risk.

    I know that Republicans did a lot of horrible propaganda to turn it into a political issue, but what Bill Clinton did was absolutely wrong and legitimate grounds for being removed from office.

      Definitely terrible, but on a scale of terrible things that Presidents are capable of? International invasions? War? Genocide? Deconstruction of global economies? You have to absolutely consider the enormous implications of replacing them.
