Plot Summary

The story of a president who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history and one of the most complex and conflicted characters to ever stride across the public stage. In Part 2, Clinton wins the 1996 election in a landslide, pulling off one of the greatest turnarounds in political history. But as Clinton sails buoyantly into his second term, times are good, the economy is booming, and American prestige and power internationally are at an all-time high. Clinton's dream of repairing the breach with Republicans seems within reach. But Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky -- a White House intern -- becomes public after she confides in a co-worker named Linda Tripp.
