If the Republicans in the Senate then had any balls at all then ol’ BJ should have and could have been impeached and removed from office for the high crimes and misdemeanors he committed during that disgusting, disgraceful, and outright criminal episode. Hell, even Fred Thompson voted NOT Guilty on the perjury charge but Guilty on the obstruction of justice charge. By not voting Guilty for both charges Thompson was part of the Republican group of Senators that allowed ol’ BJ to get away with his blatant criminality, thereby setting the stage for the continuing crapping and shiteing on the Constitution ongoingly by the lawless federal government ever since. And Thompson thereafter posed as some sort of “conservative” that was going to be like the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

The Republicans were at least 10 votes shy of the number of Republican Senators needed to remove him (67 to remove from office). The bottom line was that once Clinton had the country behind him, he was staying in office...it was up to the Democrats to provide the needed votes to meet the supermajority, and they were not about to do that.
