Thompson was not the only one who voted to keep him in office

Thompson didn't vote to keep him in office. He voted not to impeach on the perjury charge, but did so vote on the other charge.

‘Thompson didn’t vote to keep him in office. He voted not to impeach on the perjury charge, but did so vote on the other charge.’

Correct, Thompson voted for the Obstruction of Justice charge, which by itself was enough to remove Clinton as President. There weren’t enough votes, so he remained in office.

This ‘myth’ about Thompson’s votes during Impeachment is raised a couple of times per day here at FR, and its getting smacked back down for being a flat out lie, a couple of times per day here at FR.
