Nearly 4 in 10 voters: Obama committed impeachable offenses

Amid the highly partisan impeachment of Donald Trump, a poll finds more voters believe Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton committed impeachable offenses than the current president.
Jonathan Zogby asked voters if they believed any of the last 12 presidents, dating to Dwight D. Eisenhower, committed impeachable offenses, reported Paul Bedard in his Washington Secrets column for the Washington Examiner.
Nixon, who resigned over the Watergate scandal, was first, at 71%, followed by Clinton, who lied under oath about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, at 61%.
Trump came in third at 53%, while Barack Obama was fourth at 38%.
"In light of the historic impeachment of President Trump by House Democrats, it's interesting to think what this moment in history will mean and how does it rate," said Zogby.
His survey asked, "Do you agree or disagree that each one of the following presidents committed an impeachable offense while in office?"
Regarding Nixon and Clinton, Democrats and Republicans were largely in agreement, the poll found. But not so with Trump.
"The partisan lines were drawn when it comes to the impeachment of Trump; more than three-quarters of Democrats agreed he committed an impeachable offense, while 53% of Republicans disagreed," Zogby said. "This is different than Nixon or Clinton in that all demographics, including political parties, thought they committed impeachable offenses."
After Obama came George W. Bush at 34%; Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy and George H.W. Bush at 30%; Ronald Reagan (29%); Eisenhower (25%); and Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter (24%).
House Democrats, claiming Trump was an imminent threat who needed to be removed immediately, impeached the president on a partisan vote last month. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still has not handed over the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Democrats were calling for the impeachment of Trump even before he took office. Their charge of collusion with Russia was shot down by special counsel Robert Mueller last April.
In contrast to the impeachment of Clinton, their impeachment articles against Trump, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, do not specify any crime.
Mayor Pete Would Start Family In the White House
In an exclusive interview with local Iowa TV station, KCCI, Pete Buttigieg said that he would like to start a family in the White House.
The South Bend Mayor stopped by the KCCI studios over the weekend to spend time with a panel of undecided Iowa Caucus-goers.
“I’ve heard you are wanting to start a family. Is that something you hope to do soon, perhaps in the White House?” Muhammad asked.Buttigieg answered their questions, including this one from Ivette Muhammad, a mother of eight.
“It is. This year the campaign is not conducive to it, but we are looking forward to it. Chasten will make an amazing dad. I’ll try to hold my own and it is something we’re looking forward to. I can’t imagine raising eight kids. My dad was one of eight, but maybe I’ll come to you for advice as our numbers are growing,” said Buttigieg.
This is not the first time that Mayor Pete has suggested starting a “First Family” should he win the Presidency. In a Father’s Day interview with CNN back in June, Buttigieg said, “I don’t see why not,” when asked about doing so. That television interview also marked his one-year wedding anniversary.
He went on to tell CNN’s “State of the Union” that “it wouldn’t be the first time that children have arrived to a first couple, but obviously that’s a conversation I had better have with Chasten before I go into it too much on television.”
Buttigieg is seeking to become the first openly gay presidential nominee from a major political party.
