1999Best.-Nr. 84302Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1999. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. New. 3121 total 4-volume set wraps footnotes. This is an unopened set shrink-wrapped with stiff cardboard at top and bottom sealed with tight plastic bands north/south and east/west. Some indentation of the cardboard brom the banding noted. This four-volume set contains the full record of the U.S. Senate proceedings in the impeachment trial of President Clinton the only Presidential impeachment trial of the 20th century. Volume I contains preliminary proceedings; Volume II contains floor trial proceedings; Volume III contains depositions and affidavits; Volume IV contains statements of Senators regarding the impeachment trial of President Clinton. The impeachment of Bill Clinton occurred when Bill Clinton the 42nd president of the United States was impeached by the United States House of Representatives of the 105th United States Congress on December 19 1998 for "high crimes and misdemeanors". The House adopted two articles of impeachment against Clinton with the specific charges against Clinton being lying under oath and obstruction of justice. Two other articles had been considered but were rejected by House vote. Clinton's impeachment came after a formal House inquiry which had been launched on October 8 1998. The charges for which Clinton was impeached stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones. During pre-trial discovery in the lawsuit Clinton gave testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The catalyst for the president's impeachment was the Starr Report a September 1998 report prepared by Ken Starr Independent Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. Clinton was the second American president to be impeached the first being Andrew Johnson who was impeached in 1868. The approved articles of impeachment would be submitted to the United States Senate on January 7 1999. A trial in the Senate then began with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. On February 12 Clinton was acquitted on both counts as neither received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of the senators present for conviction and removal from office—in this instance 67. On Article One 45 senators voted to convict while 55 voted for acquittal. On Article Two 50 senators voted to convict while 50 voted for acquittal. Clinton remained in office for the remainder of his second term. In April 1999 about two months after being acquitted by the Senate Clinton was cited by federal District Judge Susan Webber Wright for civil contempt of court for his "willful failure" to obey her orders to testify truthfully in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. For this Clinton was assessed a $90000 fine and the matter was referred to the Arkansas Supreme Court to see if disciplinary action would be appropriate. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Minor moisture staining at lower right corner of some pages. Sturdy institutional binding. Tape residue at middle of spine. The Neutrality Acts were a series of acts passed by the US Congress in 1935 1936 1937 and 1939 in response to the growing threats and wars that led to World War II. They were spurred by the growth in isolationism and non-interventionism in the US following the US joining World War I and they sought to ensure that the US would not become entangled again in foreign conflicts. The legacy of the Neutrality Acts is widely regarded as having been generally negative since they made no distinction between aggressor and victim treating both equally as belligerents and limited the US government's ability to aid Britain and France against Nazi Germany. The Acts were largely repealed in 1941 in the face of the Lend-Lease Act. As noted by the Chairman "It is universally agreed by international lawyers that there should be no substantial change in the laws of a neutral as affecting a belligerent after declared or undeclared war takes place. Among the witnesses and participants are Bernard Baruch Henry Stimson Hugh Johnson Walter Judd; Breckinridge Long George Wharton Pepper James Shotwell Charles Tansill Edmund Walsh Raymond Buell Bainbridge Colby Paul Revere Sentinels and Dorothy Thompson. In philosophy neutrality is the tendency to not take a side in a conflict physical or ideological which may not suggest neutral parties do not have a side or are not a side themselves. In colloquial use neutral can be synonymous with unbiased. However bias is a favoritism for one side distinct from the tendency to act on that favoritism. Neutrality is distinct though not exclusive from apathy ignorance indifference doublethink equality agreement and objectivity. Apathy and indifference each imply a level of carelessness about a subject though a person exhibiting neutrality may feel bias on a subject but choose not to act on it. A neutral person can also be well-informed on a subject and therefore need not be ignorant. Since they can be biased a neutral person need not feature doublethink i.e. accepting both sides as correct equality i.e. viewing both sides as equal or agreement a form of group decision-making; here it would require negotiating a solution on everyone's opinion including one's own which may not be unbiased. Objectivity suggests siding with the more reasonable position except journalistic objectivity where reasonableness is judged by some common basis between the sides such as logic thereby avoiding the problem of incommensurability. Neutrality implies tolerance regardless of how disagreeable deplorable or unusual a perspective might be. In moderation and mediation neutrality is often expected to make judgments or facilitate dialogue independent of any bias emphasizing on the process rather than the outcome. For example a neutral party is seen as a party with no or a fully disclosed conflict of interest in a conflict and is expected to operate as if it has no bias. Neutral parties are often perceived as more trustworthy reliable and safe.38 Alternative to acting without a bias the bias of neutrality itself is the expectation upon the Swiss government in armed neutrality and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in non-interventionism. The Oxford English Dictionary documents that by at least 1897 "neutral" meant applying the rules to the facts as in football "Neutral linesmen shall officiate in all games." In the Supreme Court decision Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System v. Southworth based on the United States Constitution's First Amendment the court decided some funding decisions should be made through a neutral viewpoint.
