'Now, some may say that the Independent Counsel shouldn't even exist, and that the counsel has way too much power. Well guess what - I agree. And guess what - most conservatives agree. And guess what - Clinton was could have prevented the Independent Counsel from existing! In fact, the existence of the Independent Counsel has to be re-approved every 5 years. In 1992, the Independent Counsel was not re-approved because of Republican opposition, but in 1994, Clinton signed the Independent Counsel Reauthorization Act of 1994, which restored the Independent Counsel!!
The Republicans considered the Independent Counsel to be unconstitutional, but our President felt differently. In fact, Clinton stated, "The Independent Counsel statute has been in the past and is today a force for government integrity and public confidence" and, "is good for American people and good for their confidence in Democracy" (Bennett, The Death of Outrage pg. 79).'
