Bill Clinton 比尔·克林顿(美国第42届总统：1993-2001)

10 . Monica Lewinsky Affair

莱温斯基丑闻

Bill Clinton was implicated in a couple of scandals, the most significant for his presidency was the Monica Lewinsky affair. Lewinsky was a White House staffer with whom Clinton had an intimate relationship, or as he laterput it, an "improper physical relationship." He had previously denied this while giving a deposition in another case which resulted in a vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives in 1998. TheSenate did not vote to remove him from office but the event did mar his presidency as he joined Andrew Johnson as only the second president to be impeached。

克林顿曾被卷入过几件丑闻中，而其中最有名的莫过于他和莫妮卡·莱温斯基的性丑闻。作为白宫的员工，莱温斯基曾和克林顿有过一段亲密关系，或者按照克林顿后来的陈述：“不正当肉体关系”。刚开始，克林顿曾宣誓否认这件事。但1998年，众议院却因此事投票弹劾克林顿。尽管参议院最终没有同意众议院的弹劾，但这件丑闻却成为克林顿任期内的一大污点。克林顿是既安德鲁·约翰逊之后第二个被弹劾的总统。
