I'm tired of smear jobs and sex scandals on all sides. I'm not trying to minimize sexual harassment or abuse. I just think they are parallel issues to governance. I haven't seen any evidence that a leader's sexual integrity has impeded their ability to govern.
I think if you're a leader and you're representing something greater than yourself, you have to be held to certain standards. Not only did Bill cheat on his wife, but he lied about it to the American people, and was also accused of sexual assault.
It's like in the Air Force. If one of the pilots (or whoever) cheats on their wife, their career is pretty much over. It's considered illegal. "Conduct unbecoming of an officer" and all that. If our military members can't do it, there's no reason why our president should get a pass, IMHO.
To me the the rule for your air force officers seems grossly outdated as it is. I don't see the point of extending it to even more people.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
