Yes it was. And yes, when questioned about the Paula Jones proposition Clinton said under oath that he had not had "relations" with Monica Lewinski. The Republicans decided that this was good enough to impeach the President, and got the votes to get the trial started. The fact remains that they were looking for any excuse to play politics and this was the best they could find.

Again I cite Oliver North as an example of the Democrats playing the same game. It is a game they play, and nothing more. If the president should be removed for that sort of thing then we have to start with Jefferson and move to Buchanan, Cleveland, Eisenhower and Kennedy.
