-Caveat Lector-
Well this is interesting... Correct me if I am wrong but, once it goes to a
vote and if he is impeached isn't there automatically a criminal trial? I
understood that if he resigned and was pardoned then he wouldn't face a
trial. So, if he "appears" unconcerned I have to ask, what Ace does he have
up his sleeve?

>As Impeachment Looms, Clinton Seems In Denial
>
>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - To hear White House aides tell it Friday, President
>Clinton is dealing with the gravest moment of his presidency his
>all-but-certain impeachment -- with near total denial.
>
>As the House of Representatives began to debate impeaching Clinton, the
>political equivalent of an indictment that will put his fate in the hands
of a
>Senate trial, aides painted him as almost too busy with other matters to
pay
>attention.
>
>Clinton began his day with a mid-morning briefing on the continuing air
>strikes he launched against Iraq Wednesday, plunging the United States into
a
>dual crisis of military action and only the second House vote in its
history
>on impeaching a president.
>
>He was to stay closeted in meetings, including a working lunch with
European
>Union officials, until well past sunset discussing such matters as the
>minutiae of the federal budget, the spread of AIDS and the coming monetary
>union in Europe.
>
>In between, the White House said Clinton had just one meeting that touched
>on his probable impeachment a session with wavering Connecticut
>Republican Congressman Christopher Shays that the president did not even
>request.
>
>Asked if Clinton had a message for Shays, who is having second thoughts
>about his plans to vote against impeachment, White House spokesman Joe
>Lockhart said: ``No ... Shays says he had some things he wants to talk to
the
>president about. The president will be glad to listen and make his case.''
>
>Lockhart said he did not know whether Clinton would have time to watch the
>impeachment debate being broadcast live on television, saying that if he
did
>it would only be in passing.
>
>But the portrait of studied unconcern painted by the White House was
>undermined at mid-morning when first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton broke her
>recent silence about the Republican drive to impeach her husband for his
>efforts to conceal his affair with former White House intern Monica
Lewinsky.
>
>Walking to the White House South Lawn, where she tied a red ribbon to a
Ford
>Explorer to remind people not to drive drunk during the holidays, Mrs.
Clinton
>made an appeal for the country to find a way out of the mess.
>
>``In this holiday season, as we celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and Ramadan
>and it's time for reflection and reconciliation among people, we in our
>country ought to practice reconciliation and we ought to bring our country
>together,'' she said.
>
>``We ought to end divisiveness, because we can do so much more together,''
>she said in response to a reporter's question.
>
>Lockhart continued to argue that Clinton, who faces charges of perjury,
>obstruction of justice and abuse of power, had done nothing that warranted
his
>impeachment.
>
>But he could not deflect growing certainty that the Republicans have the
votes
>in the House to force an impeachment and prolong the crisis into next year,
>when the Senate would be expected to hold a trial presided over by Chief
>Justice William Rehnquist.
>
>``If members can put the politics, the cynicism, the partisanship aside,
then
>I think that they will come to the same conclusion that we do,'' Lockhart
>said. ``If they can't, then we may have a different result.''
