“So then you’re not happy that Clinton was impeached?”

There was a chance for Clinton’s removal. Not so here.

No there wasn't, the Republican lead Senate at the time wanted to quickly end the issue, hence the “trial” which was mainly floor debates. The number of dems needed for a conviction was never going to materialized. However, impeachment stays till the end of our Constitutional rule and although political, serves as a huge embarrassment and a beacon of historic purposes to those who look to the past to gain a better foothold of the future if the impeachment was actually legitimate.
