Sunday, December 20, 1998, was a good day for headlines. The Boston Sunday Globe bannered “Clinton is Impeached.” The New York Times, perhaps moved by the president’s well-known perplexity with the copulative verb, shortened this to “Clinton Impeached,” but added a coast-to-coast subhead: “He Faces Senate Trial, 2D in History; Vows To Do His Job Till Term’s ‘Last Hour.’” (He did just that, pardoning a passel of crooks, including the world-class swindler Marc Rich then on the lam in Switzerland, but let me not wander…) If December 20, 1998, had heart-warming headlines, it had even better photographs.

Clinton was not impeached. Republican Neocons tried to impeach Bill Clinton, but never succeeded because there were no grounds for impeachment. Republican, Richard Nixon was impeached. Hopefully their leader, evil criminal George Bush will be impeached as well.

Since 1797 the House of Representatives has impeached sixteen federal officials.
These include two presidents, a cabinet member, a senator, a justice of the Supreme Court, and eleven federal judges.
Of those, the Senate has convicted and removed seven, all of them judges.
Not included in this list are the office holders who have resigned rather than face impeachment, most notably, President Richard M. Nixon.

Andrew Johnson. Teapot Dome scandal. He's the only other one, making Clinton the only elected President to be impeached.

Nixon would have been impeached, but resigned first.

Clinton grow to be impeaced yet no longer removed from place of work. there have been no longer sufficient votes contained in the Senate to realize this. Nixon resigned because of the fact a bipartisan Congress grow to be arranged, overwhelmingly, to question, and get rid of him, from place of work.

That was a wonderful day in history wasn't it. Ahh the sweet memories.

Condor: Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury and other charges. He was subsequently disbarred too.

Andrew Johnson was also impeached but, not convicted. Nixon is the only one who would have been convicted if he had not resigned.

Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon would have been impeached but he resigned. I think you forgot a very important detail, Bill Clinton was found INNOCENT.
