Oval Office’s power
may be reduced
following year of
battles, scandal, trial
WASHINGTON (AP) — When
the next occupant settles into the
Oval Office in January 2001, he or
she may feel the power of the presi
dency subtly reduced by the distant
events of The Year of Lewinsky.
Kenneth Starr’s tireless investiga
tion of President Clinton, the presi
dent’s pursuit of losing legal gam
bits, the House’s vote to impeach —
all nibbled away at presidential pow
er, constitutional scholars say.
The erosion began even earlier,
with the Supreme Court’s unani
mous decision on May 27, 1997 that
Paula Jones could bring her sexual
harassment lawsuit against a sitting
president. That led to the deposition
in which Clinton denied ever engag
ing in sexual relations with Monica
Lewinsky.
Some scholars view this weaken
ing of the office as part of a natural
pendulum swing away from power
ful presidents who have dominated
the 20th century. Others lament the
whittling away of power.
“It’s probably too early to know
what, if any, lasting effects this
tawdry episode will have on the
presidency,” historian Alan Brinkley
of Columbia University said.
For instance, the Clinton White
House went to court in the heat of
the expanding scandal to press a se
ries of constitutional questions that
future presidents may wish had
been left alone.
TVying to block grand jury sub
poenas to some of his closest advis
ers and bodyguards, Clinton claimed
lawyer-client privilege, executive
privilege and a special privilege cov
ering Secret Service officers. He lost
them all. The courts ruled the Secret
Service privileges dr
the attorney-client:
