BILL CLINTON
Biography

Clinton, William Jefferson (1946- ), 42d president of the United States. Clinton's two terms in office were marked by efforts to create or expand domestic social programs, by attempts to resolve several major crises overseas, and by various scandals of both a political and personal nature that resulted in Clinton's becoming the first president since Andrew Johnson to be impeached and tried.

You think Groliers got it wrong?

Give me your parents phone number, they need to retain a good lawyer, and sue your college for fraud.

You are such an imbecile and a complete dork. I told you to read 5 pages from the Federalist papers and you went to consult your encyclopedia in your computer. Impeachment is done in the House. Senate does the trying. That is why Senators have to take an oath and the Chief Justice presides. Of course Clinton was impeached and tried, but it happened in two different bracnches. Well, it didn't really happen in the Senate, because it was more appropriately a mistrial. No evidence was introduced and no witnesses were called. My point was impeachment is not a trial, it is a fact-finding. The actual trial is held in the Senate. I cannot believe they let you procreate.

to be impeached and tried.

You think Groliers got it wrong?

Well, yeah actually they seem to have it wrong. Impeachment is the accusation, the charge brought by the House. The trial is to be conducted by the Senate, which never happened.

Right?
