- During the first afternoon session on the fifteenth day of the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, Chief Justice William Rehnquist questions Clinton's defense attorneys and members of the House Judiciary Committee who are serving as "managers", the equivalent of prosecutors. The questions, which are provided by Senators and simply read by Rehnquist, focus on the nature of the arguments made by the Managers and Clinton's attorneys. Clinton's attorneys Charles Ruff and David Kendall defend their original arguments against conviction under Republican questioning. Managers James E. Rogan (R-CA), Charles T. Canady (R-FL), Bill McCollum (R-FL), Asa Hutchinson II (R-AR), Steve Buyer (R-IN) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defend their arguments for conviction under Democratic questioning. Part two of four.

- Description:
- Gregory Craig, White House Special Counsel and former U.S. Director of Policy Planning, testifies before Congress explaining why the rules of impeachment should not apply to President Bill Clinton. Craig differentiates between the Criminal Justice System and the Impeachment Process and asserts that these two systems do not overlap. Craig also plays two videotapes, the first of which features James Fisher, attorney for Paula Jones, whom accused Clinton of sexual harassment, giving Clinton a piece of paper with the definition of "sexual relations" on it. Following the video, Craig explains that this definition did not include oral sex, and asserts that when Clinton testified he did not have sexual relations, he believed that he was telling the truth. The second video features Thomas Sullivan, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois under President Jimmy Carter, and former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Richard Joseph Davis explaining that there is insufficient evidence to try Clinton for either perjury or obstruction of justice.

Bumpers evokes the weight of history and the Constitution, whose framers he says feared legislative control over the executive branch.
