No Bert, you have it wrong.

Congress (the house of representatives) holds hearing to see if there are
grounds for impeachment. If they feel there is, they draw up Articles of
Impeachment which are then forwarded to the Senate for an impeachment trial.

Bill Clinton was charged, and found innocent in trial.

It grieves me to think all these people will talk the talk, but I can prove
them wrong in less than 3 minutes.

The Impeachment Process
In the House of Representatives:

1.. The House Judiciary Committee decides whether or not to proceed with
impeachment. If they do...
2.. The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Il) will
propose a Resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to begin a formal
inquiry into the issue of impeachment.
3.. Based on their inquiry, the Judiciary Committee will send another
Resolution to the full House stating that impeachment is warranted and why
(the Articles of Impeachment), or that impeachment is not called for.
4.. The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by
the Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.
5.. Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple
majority vote, the President will be "impeached." However, being impeached
is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial,
which is where the US Senate comes in.
In the Senate:

1.. The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
2.. The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
3.. A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his
lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as "prosecutors." The
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will preside with all 100 Senators acting
as the jury.
4.. The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
5.. The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the
Senate will result in a conviction.
6.. The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
7.. The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the
President from holding any public office in the future.

Leave it to a right-winger to get it all wrong.

This is the same Clinton that went through the impeachment process
because
he knew in the end he would be found innocent. (As in not guilty, the
finding returned by the US Senate)

I think that you have it wrong. Clinton was found "guilty" of lying to a
Federal judge and that is called impeachment and is performed by the House
of Representatives. However, the Senate did not believe that the crime
Clinton committed warranted removal from office.

Try to spin Clinton's sexaul misdeeds, to put it very lightly, anyway you
want the evidence is there that he did the things he was accused of doing.
