Hahaha - I still have a newspaper with the HUGE headline ~ CLINTON IMPEACHED !!
Nothing ever happened to him other than the headlines being printed.

Er, Clinton was impeached -- the House issuing two articles of impeachment.
The Senate, however, failed to convict.
At any rate, the headline is 100% accurate.
Yup! It takes the Senate to remove a Pres after he has been impeached by the House. Your headline is correct but the Senate voted not to remove Clintoon.
For more info see Post #39.
Still, it would be nice to add that to his “enduring legacy”.
My understanding of impeachment is that it is the trial/procedure for the removal from office of a public official. The trial requires the temporary removal from office of the defendant so that they cannot use their office to influence the proceedings. a successful prosecution leads to the permanent removal and or jail term depending the out come of the trail. So Clinton was impeached. just was not convicted. Am i correct?
