Title: South Carolina Lawmakers Reject Move to Impeach Sanford, Consider Rebuke
Post by: SilverOrchid on December 09, 2009, 03:02:47 PM
South Carolina lawmakers have defeated a move to oust Gov. Mark Sanford over his summertime tryst and his use of state aircraft.

A panel considering whether to impeach the two-term Republican voted 6-1 Wednesday that his actions were not serious misconduct. Lawmakers are still considering whether to recommend an official reprimand.

Lawmakers said Sanford's actions did not rise to a high enough level to warrant his removal from office before the end of his second and final term in January 2011.

Sanford has been under scrutiny since June, when he tearfully revealed an affair. Ensuing probes of his travel and campaign spending have led to more than three dozen state ethics charges and the potential for $74,000 in fines.

I think they were just freaked by what would happen if Bauer sat in the governors office.

Is Sanford up for re-election?  I don't think he's going to be very popular.

Sounds like he's term limited.

Well, this drops the bottom out of my defense of impeachment.   If Clinton should have gone, so should have Sanford.  Spending taxpayer money on your girlfriend t is definitely an impeachable offense

If that were true, everyone should be impeached... They've all abused public funds.

Maybe not impeached, but he should have his ass voted out next election. ....and since he's a conservative, that's going to be a given.
