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.

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?
