David Vitter

David Vitter (born 1961) is a Republican senator from Louisiana. Vitter was a Representative from New Orleans from 1999 to 2004. He was one of the top backers of a Constitutional amendment that would have banned same sex marriage. Vitter started his congressional career in 1999 after winning a special election to replace the disgraced Rep. Bob Livingston, who resigned during the Clinton impeachment affair after it was revealed that he was having an extra-marital affair. In October 29, 1998, Vitter penned a strongly worded editorial for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, arguing for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Vitter said "Some current polls may suggest that people are turned off by the whole Clinton mess and don't care -- because the stock market is good, the Clinton spin machine is even better or other reasons. But that doesn't answer the question of whether President Clinton should be impeached and removed from office because he is morally unfit to govern."
