President Clinton Impeached
Behind a backdrop unique in historical terms, on Saturday
19 December 1998, President William Jefferson Clinton was
impeached by the United States House of Representatives,
becoming only the second President in U.S. History, and
the only man popularly elected as President to have been
so charged.
The House voted 228 to 206 to approve proposed
Article I of Impeachment (Perjury before a Federal Grand
Jury), and voted 221 to 212 to approve proposed Article
III of Impeachment (Obstruction of Justice).
Although the impeachment process succeeded at the level of
the House of Representatives, without the Senate's
confirming action in this matter, no further action was
taken.
