Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no evidence that the media pledged to avoid reporting on the private lives of politicians or that the Republican congressmen resigned their seats in response to the impeachment. However, Newt Gingrich did in fact resign after it was revealed that he too had engaged in an extramarital affair, which suggests that the fallout from Clinton's impeachment created a greater scrutiny of the private conduct of elected officials. There is no evidence that Congress passed a joint resolution specifically relating to sexual misconduct or infidelity as a reason for impeachment.
