remember, this is with a republican-controlled house that was not keen on government spending, even when it wasn t preparing to impeach the democratic government who would have to sign anything they passed. oh, also in the meantime, clinton got israel and the palestinians to sign a peace agreement. got 160 countries to sign on to a pact to fight global warming. and earlier that year he managed the good friday peace accords in northern ireland. neither of those presidents, nixon or clinton, while they were being investigated, or in clinton s case actively impeached, neither of them said you know what? heim not going to do anything else. i m not going to with any i m not going to work with this terrible congress unless these investigations into me end. neither of them even tried that. if anything, they seemed to want the opposite. both of them understandably were eager to give the impression that they were fairly unfazed by whatever scandal surrounded
after that year, which is when the house voted to impeach him, president clinton signed over 150 bills into law. and yes, some of those were like naming post offices and stuff. but some of it was major legislation that he proposed and negotiated with congress, even while congress was investigating him for possible impeachment, and then ultimately impeaching him. i mean, just two days after the impeachment inquiry was opened into clinton, clinton signed an education bill with new programs he d proposed to get disadvantaged students into college, to reduce student loan interest rates. a few weeks later congress agreed to fork over $100,000. head start early child coordinate education program. remember, this is with a republican-controlled house that was not keen on government spending, even when it wasn t preparing to impeach the democratic government who would have to sign anything they passed. oh, also in the meantime, clinton got israel and the palestinians to sign a peace agreement.
