Four GOP lawmakers urge censure over removal in Clinton case
Four House Republicans who voted to impeach President Clinton urge the Senate to consider censure instead of removal. The letter, signed by Sherwood Boehlert, Benjamin Gilman, Mike Castle, and Jim Greenwood, argues for a remedy short of removal and cites truthfulness, official duties, government integrity, and voter will as guiding factors. Senator Byrd says the decision must be bipartisan and made by the Senate.
