Technically, impeachment is not removal from office, but the process to consider doing so.
As the process was initiated, technically, Clinton was impeached... although removal did not suceed.
Shame on him for lying about a BJ! But apprarently it's okay to lie to create a war? Go figure.

OMG!!! Impeach does not mean fired or removed from office...it means he was brought before the senate on a specified charge. Why don't people know this! YES HE WAS IMPEACHED (although not rightfully so!)
Now all we need to do is impeach the fool that's presently in the oval office!!!!!!

Yes he was impeached but was not removed from office - two different things.
Now Richard Nixon resigned before he was impeached AND removed from office. He was definitely a dirty & corrupt president - way beyond the lies hiding Clinton's trysts.

He substitute into effectively impeached. He substitute into not faraway from workplace. this is 2 very particularly some issues. the abode of Representatives votes to question -- that vote handed. The Senate then votes no count if to do away with from workplace -- that vote failed. Your assessment to criminal justice is incorrect: the impeachment is the equivalent of an indictment. whether the defendant is acquitted at trial, this is nonetheless precise to assert that he substitute into indicted. EDIT: nicely, what somebody emphasizes is punctiliously based on what they choose to emphasise. somebody who substitute into severe of Clinton will emphasize the impeachment, mutually as somebody who substitute into supportive of Clinton could emphasize the acquittal. this is all a count of the element you're attempting to make. It in basic terms sounds such as you're attempting to make a various element that some others, it somewhat is all.

He most certainly was. The House of Representatives voted several articles of impeachment against him in 1998. He was acquitted, though, in the Senate. (Impeachment's the formal act of bringing charges against the individual-----it corresponds to an indictment in criminal law.)

Clinton was impeached (meaning he was brought up before the Senate to be tried), but he was acquitted (i.e., not removed from office).

He was impeached by the House but the Senate aquitted Him. That's why He finished His term.
He did loose His Law License.

No he was not impeached. After reading the other peoples answers it looks like I am not completely in the know. I thought that they tried to impeach him and were not successful due to the acquittal. After all you are not truly impeached if you serve out your sentence.
