Clinton did nothing illegal, and he was impeached. As Min stated, the system is imperfect.

Well, he did lie about not having sexual contact with Monica Lewinski, but that is a pretty piss poor reason to try to remove someone from office. On the plus side it just showed how Republicans are nothing but a bunch of witch hunters who will try to remove their opponents from office if they can't debate their ideas on the merits. Just look at all the stink they made about Benghazi.

Indeed, one's sexual affairs has no bearing on how he runs the country.

It wasn't the sexual affair, it was the lying about the sexual affair. But either way, it was just a desperate attempt by the Republicans.

By punished I don't mean throw them in jail or not being elected the next time.

Yes, politicians are servants to the people. They should be put at the mercy of the people for their wrongdoings.
