Evaluating The Presidency Of Bill Clinton
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Evaluating the presidency of Bill Clinton is fraught with stumbling blocks – both personal and professional – that effectively stand in the way of performing an unbiased assessment. Indeed, Clinton has found himself in a handful of compromising positions that have caused not only his reputation but also his leadership ability to come under harsh scrutiny. How has the president succeeded in the eyes of the people? What has come to influence this perception, and is this perception accurate? The writer discusses that the two most prevalent components of Clinton's presidency have been two events that do not shed positive light on his evaluation: Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater and how they relate to trust.

The State Of The Election Campaign Investigations
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper arguing that the campaign election contributions reform is indeed needed. The Clinton administration attempted to turn the Lincoln bedroom into a Days Inn for the highest bidder in the 1996 campaign, but there have been other presidential sleepovers, too. Several unsuccessful bills have attempted to distinguish between 'hard' and 'soft' money, with the soft variety being used for the recognized necessity of buying national media exposure. The focus of the 1997 reform is that very distinction, but is muddied by the prospects of a Justice Department investigation into White House fund raising activities. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
