Clinton's Role in America's Worst Disaster

"On January 20, 1993, when William Jefferson Clinton took the oath of office as the 42nd president of the United States of America. Clinton swore to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States" from enemies both foreign and domestic. During the next eight years, Bill Clinton would preside over the most corrupt administration in American history. He would be only the second president in American history to be impeached. When Bill Clinton took office, American supremacy on the world stage had never been so great and unchallenged. Our military was without equal. The economy was beginning a record boom. Soon after Bill Clinton left office, Americans began to discover his bitter legacy. Even as Clinton was leaving Washington, the American economy had begun to move into a serious recession. And America's belief in invulnerability was shattered on September 11, 2001, when 19 Arab hijackers slammed civilian jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon."
