Well .. I hate to break it to ya, but CLINTON WAS IMPEACHED. The House brings impeachment articles - when they are voted upon and there are enough votes (which there were) - IMPEACHMENT TAKES PLACE! It's the Senate who determines if the person will be removed from office - that's all.
CLINTON WAS IMPEACHED - he just wasn't removed from office. The very same thing happened to Andrew Johnson. He was impeached, but managed to hold on by 1 vote from being removed from office.
Well .. I hate to break it to ya, but CLINTON WAS IMPEACHED Er, in my post I said, Clinton was impeached, but acquitted (you are right, technically, it's not an acquittal but 'not removed from office.') But you are the one, aren't you, who said only Clinton had been impeached? I just wanted to bring up the parallel case of Johnson, A.
