Articles of impeachment are different from legislation and nominations in that they survive not only across session, but even across Congresses.

Clinton was impeached (and articles intro’d to the senate) in the 105th, trial began on the 106th. The only thing that did not survive the transition was naming of managers, so a second/new resolution was passed for that.

The Clinton case is not unique in this regard.
