What does marital infidelity have to do with political performance?
My husband answers the question here:
This got me thinking: does marital fidelity have anything to do with political performance? And should marital infidelity be cause for impeachment or resignation from office?
The answer is yes, and lies in the nature of the two offices.
The marital bond is a sacred union between one man and one woman for life. When one marries, he or she vows before God to love, honor, and cherish his or her spouse until death do them part.
Noah Webster defined a vow as "A solemn promise; as the vows of unchangable love and fidelity In a moral and religious sense, vows are promises to God, as they appeal to God to witness their sincerity, and the violation of them is a most hainous [sic] offense."
Similarly, when a public office-holder takes office, he or she takes an oath, a solemn vow, to uphold the Constitution and effectively carry out the duties of that office. They also end that vow with a petition to Almighty God for assistance in doing so--"So help me God."
