Following the continued rejection of Governor Clinton, Jones was punished by her supervisors.
The casefirst went to District Court. In District Court, Clinton wanted to suspend the case totally on the grounds of Presidential Immunity. The judge declared that the case shall be put on hold until after Clinton finished his term. The case was appealed.

The case proceeded to the Supreme Court of the United States of America with one question: Is the president allowed immunity from civil cases in events that occurred before he or she took office?

Across America, this case led to the investigation of President Clinton's personal life by Kennet
