| We the People
of these United States of America -- |
| to the Honorable Newt Gingrich of
Georgia, Speaker of OUR United States House of
Representatives, |
- The People of these United States are the exclusive
owners of the Constitution, a
- document that is both our inheritance and our tool. Its
purposes are to establish justice,
- insure domestic tranquillity, providefor the common
defense, promote the general welfare,
- and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity. Faithful to those
- purposes We advise Congress that our Petition is
respectfully presented. We request that
- Congress will act with speed to remove a cancer growing
on the Presidency. We ask
- Congress to restore Public confidence in the employees,
officers and institutions of the
- Federal Government, particularly the Chief Executive.
Motivated solely by patriotism and
- fidelity to the highest principles of self-government, We
must advise our elected
- representatives that the growing cancer threatens our
land; today a vast majority of the
- People frankly doubt the integrity of the Chief
Executive. The crescendo of untrustworthy
- appearances emanating from the Chief Executive and his
senior officers have given rise to
- a general conviction that the Federal government, unless
it is staffed by public servants of
- the highest ethical appearance, inevitably fails to
faithfully execute the laws, depriving us
- all of the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our
posterity.
-
- Mindful that the First Amendment to our Constitution
guarantees We the People the right to
- petitioning the government for redress of grievances,
and:
-
- Whereas, Our Constitution obliges our government to
receive our petitions, to grant them
- due process, to redress grievances speedily, and to
thoroughly remediate the causes of our
- grievances if stemming from the government;
-
- Therefore,
| We the People of these United States
Petition the House of Representatives to impeach the
President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton
for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. We believe already
there are more than sufficient findings, evidences and
proofs readily available in the public domain regarding
impeachable offenses ("high crimes and
misdemeanors") committed by the President William
Jefferson Clinton.
|
- Whatever his motives may have been the effect of his
actions has been to compromise
- American's reputation internationally to the detriment of
thecommon good of our Country.
-
- We refer to thousands of pages of hearings published by
the 104th Congress which show
- clearly that President William Jefferson Clinton did fail
in his duty to execute his oath of
- office faithfully and with diligence as required by our
Constitution.
-
- In taking his office as the President of these United
States, William Jefferson Clinton, has
- twice made a solemn oath to conduct his official duties
to the best of his ability; and to
- preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States (Article 2, Section 1,
- Clause 8); he has affirmed, publicly and solemnly, that
he will take care that ALL the laws
- be faithfully executed (Article 2, Section 3) and; Under
the Constitution, any Federal official
- should be indicted for the purpose of removal from office
(i.e., impeached by the US House
- of Representatives) when any basis is present. It is the
duty of the House of Representatives
- to present its indictment to the US Senate, when then
tries the official in the US Senate
- (presided over by the Chief Justice of the US Supreme
Court). (Article 1, Section 3, Clause
- 6). Upon the Senate's vote to convict the Federal officer
is to be removed from office.
- Conviction may be for acts of treason, bribery, or other
high crimes and misdemeanors, in
- accordance with the Constitution, (Article 2, Section 4).
-
- To reiterate, Mr. Clinton should be speedily impeached,
indicted, tried, convicted and
- removed from office.
-
- We petition the House to frame its Articles of
Impeachment thoroughly. To light the way
- towards that end we humbly present our
| Proposed Articles of
Impeachment We the People of the United States
propose eight categories and specifications in the
Articles of Impeachment under which the House should
indict for the consideration of the Senate:
(1) His extensive actions in violation and obstruction
of the law and of justice*;
(2) His promotion, and acquiescence in corruption, and
unethical administration in the Executive Branch of
government;
(3) His failure to exercise due diligence in supervising
the heads of principal officers of the executive
departments, ambassadors, and other agency heads who
report to him;
(4) His subversion of the Constitution;
(5) His subordination of our sovereignty to foreign
powers, and 'international bodies';
(6) His violation of the public trust;
(7) His acts of usurpation of power; and
(8) His acts of violence.
|
* See Addendum to the Petition:
| We particularly make reference to the
House of Representatives' reports by the Committee on
Government Reform and Oversight (Report to the Office of
the Independent Counsel (10/15/96), the Hearings on the
Security of FBI Background Files (6/19/96, 6/26/96,
7/17/96, 8/1/96), Hearings: The White House Travel
Office, 10/24/95, 1/17/96 1/24/96), etc. |
| We are aware also of extensive oversight
Reports issued by the 104th Senate: Committee on Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs. (Refusal of William H.
Kennedy III, to Produce Notes Subpoenaed by the Special
Committee to Investigate the Whitewater Development
Corporation and Related Matters (12/19/95)) Madison
Guaranty Savings and Loan and the Whitewater Development
Corporation, Washington, DC Phase (9/12/94), (Justice
(FBI) Department Document Production), (Final
Report, Investigation of Whitewater Development
Corporation and Related Matters, 6/17/96), etc. |
| In considering the mass of information
already developed by the Congress it is in our best
interest that the President be Impeached. We the People
of the United States, find that there are an
extraordinary number of concerns about the past
performance of President Clinton which must be redressed
in order to preserve the integrity of our Union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide
for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and
secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity. Nor have We been unmindful of the needs of our
agencies, whose efficiency is damaged by our President
remaining in office. |
| We have also thought of certain apparent
victims of Mr. Clinton, such as Miss Paula Jones of
Arkansas, who Mr. Clinton is cruelly denying her rights
solely predicated upon his choice of continuation in
Office. The President has outrageously and feloniously
manipulated his status in the White House to protect him
from the operation of the Commom Law so that Miss Jones
cannot exercise the most ancient rights of We the People;
rights which Mr. Clinton is, in fact, duty-bound, to
preserve protect and defend. |
The President's counsel has reported
that by simply contemplating a
single civil law suit (the President improperly raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay his pre-trail
legal expenses) Mr. Clinton's efficiency as President is
reduced severely diverting him from carrying out his
duties as President (See reports by the distinguished
attorney Stewart Taylor in the American Lawyer). Yet the
entire world beholds Mr. Clinton golfing, vacationing,
touring resorts, and attending celebrity fund-raising
parties for his cronies. Such contradictions indicate
that Mr. Clinton is a deceptive, cruel, heartless,
deceiving and reckless prevaricator. President Clinton's
major effect as President is to render foolish the
American people and their friends throughout the world.
Such a President is not fit to be the Chief Executive of
a Free People. |
| We caution Congress to be mindful of the
vindictive style of President Clinton's governace. We
urge Congress to act to protect all of Mr. Clinton's
victims as well as to proect the persons who may be
called as witnesses. The whole world knows that Mr.
Clinton or his wife have already used the most powerful
law enforcment agency in the world, the FBI, to prepare
phony accusations against harmless employees of the White
House. |
| Congress should offer incentives for
persons who may be intimidated to come forward to the
Congress with new information about any acts or actions
of the Administration and/or its members and the First
Lady which appear to involve any violations of the Ethics
in Government Act (PL 96-303). |
| Open hearings should be conducted by the
House in preparing its indictment so that all persons
with information may be heard under oathwith respect to
the Executive's fraud, waste, mismanagement and abuse of
authority. |
We the People, United States of America --
Washington, District of Columbia
April 1997, A.D.
* Addendum to the Petition:
| The President of the United States,
William Jefferson Clinton, is both responsible for his
own personal acts in office and for those appointed by
him when he appears to tolerate the misconduct of others
