	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Censures
		censure, nor is it a vindictive punishment; in fact, it is not a punishment at all, properly speaking, but rather a canonical impediment, an inability to support the honour of the sacred ministry, which forbids the reception of orders, and the exercise of those received.

	House Considers Censure Option (11/30/98) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Censure of the President seems to be the likely outcome at this point, but there little reason to believe that the process will suddenly become bipartisan.
		A censure is still not guaranteed since many of the party leaders and especially the conservatives are skeptical of the the idea and have more of an "impeachment or nothing" outlook.
		One reason censure seems to be on the upswing at this point is the almost universal expectation that impeachment is basically going to fail in the long run.

	An Examination of the Call to Censure the President
		The last time a Senator introduced a resolution to censure a President was in 1999, directly on the heels of the Senate voting to acquit President Clinton on the charges for which he had been impeached by the House.
		But to talk about censuring a President for acting in good faith to authorize a program based on the good-faith legal advice he received seems to me to be irresponsible and really a disservice to the serious discussion of these kinds of issues.
		One sentence from that: ``The truth is that censure, understood as a resolution critical of the President passed by one or both houses of Congress, is plainly constitutional.'' Mr.

	State: USF rebuke falls short of censure
		The impact of censure - similar to a public reprimand in the world of higher education - is difficult to measure.

	The Alternative: Senate Democrats Debate the Timing of a Push for a Censure Deal
		They argue that brokering a deal on censure would be most likely to succeed before taking an up-or-down vote on whether to convict or acquit Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice.
		The idea is further complicated by the fact that any censure resolution would require the cooperation of Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, the majority leader, who is not disposed to turn to censure so quickly.
		But Democrats pushing an early censure proposal return to the argument that prospects for a tough censure resolution dim significantly if and when Clinton is acquitted; Clinton may not be willing to negotiate once he is off the hook, they say.

		Finally, this week's censure proposal is unlikely to pass, according to recent media coverage, but that has not precluded its discussion in Congress or the media.
