Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote)[15] and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).[16] Two other articles of impeachment failed – a second count of perjury in the Jones case (by a 205–229 vote)[17] and one accusing Clinton of abuse of power (by a 148–285 vote).[18] Four Republicans opposed all four articles, while five Democrats voted for three of them and one Democrat for all four. Clinton thus became the first elected U.S. president and the second U.S. president to be impeached, following Andrew Johnson in 1868 (articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon were passed by the House Judiciary Committee in 1974, but Nixon resigned the Presidency before a vote by the full House).

 

 

 

I guess we're back to "Silence of the Libs".
