After the article passed, the panel took up the censure proposal endorsed by the White House. Although expressing his own "deep disdain for the president's actions," the resolution's author, Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), said a reprimand was the commensurate response. 
Bill Clinton should not be impeached. His reckless deceits, while inexcusable, do not rise to the grave standard of high crimes and misdemeanors set by the Constitution. His lies and evasions in the matter of Monica Lewinsky have brought dishonor to his office; they have cost tax dollars and sown civic woe; they have been grievously disloyal to his family, staff, cabinet and supporters; they have helped erode respect for law and for politics. -The Philadelphia Inquirer, December 06, 1998

Censure Resolution
It is the Sense of the Congress that On January 20, 1993, William Jefferson Clinton took the oath, prescribed by the Constitution of the United States, faithfully to execute the Office of President; implicit in that oath is the obligation that the President set an example of high moral standards and conduct himself in a manner that fosters respect for the truth; and William Jefferson Clinton has egregiously failed in this obligation, and through his actions has violated the trust ofthe American people, lessened their esteem for the office of the President and dishonored the office which they have entrusted to him.

1999-02-06 04:00:00 PST Washington -- A proposed resolution of censure of President Clinton drafted by Democratic senators assails his misconduct as "shameless, reckless and indefensible," and concludes that the president "gave false or misleading testimony and impeded discovery of evidence in judicial proceedings." The two-page proposal, which is still being revised, also states that Clinton "deliberately misled and deceived the American people" and underscores that the president "remains subject to criminal and civil actions."

Be it resolved that:
1. The President made false statements concerning his reprehensible conduct with a subordinate;
2. The President wrongfully took steps to delay discovery of the truth;
3. No person is above the law, and the President remains subject to criminal and civil penalties;
4. William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United States, by his conduct has brought upon himself and fully deserves the censure and condemnation of the American people and the Congress; and by his signature on this Joint Resolution, the President acknowledges this censure.
