What do you think impeached president Bill Clinton meant when he said “it all depends on what is is” ?

Update:

Impeached president Bill Clinton was impeached by congress and not convicted by the senate, he remains an IMPEACHED PRESIDENT one of two.

Update 2:

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath (high crimes and misdemeanors) not for having sex!

    What the meaning of 'is' is. That's lawyerspeak,

    He was speaking about his affair with Monica. In his mind since they didn't have intercourse he didn't have an affair. A common enough thought in the day.

    It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

    Does it make sense? No, did it put the country at risk of war with China over a drone? No. Being questioned about ones sex life on tv isn't something you can prepare for, ask some famous players on the right about that, I've not seen anyone question Trump on his multiple women and adulteries, three wives which seems to the norm for Republicans.

  • Correction: BIll Clinton was never actually impeached. His impeachment proceedings went through the house but not the Senate for trial.

    That he was telling the truth

    Most real guys don't think that getting a quick midday blow job meets the standard for what having sex is

    Update :

    Once the President has taken their Oath of Office there is never a time when they are NOT under oath
