"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

"If people can�t trust not only the executive branch but also don�t trust Congress, and don�t trust federal judges, to make sure that we�re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we�re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013

What Congressman Gowdy is pointing to are prima facie impeachable offenses.

They are much closer than were Clinton's offenses to what the founders had in mind when they provided a mechanism for removal from oiffice.

How close in mindset are today's members of the House and Senate compared to the mindsets of the Founders?

Not very.

But, the big breach came under Bill Clinton.

Prior to Clinton, The Rule Of Law and the cleansing effect of shame restrained Presidents.

Even the Prince Of Darkness, Richard Nixon, had the decency to resign his office as penance for the shame he visited upon the Presidency.

But, just 25 years later, when Clinton inflicted even greater dishonor upon the Office, rather than resign due to his failure to meet the historical, minimum standards of Presidential behavior, Clinton insisted that America lower its standards to spare him the humiliation of resigning.

And the fact that he "won" in his effort to do so, ultimately stands as an indictment of our of country's moral condition, more than Clinton's.

Because, while members of the Senate defiled the legacy of the Founders in the Clinton impeachment matter, according to the post-Lewinsky job approval polls so did
"we the people".
