CLINTON IMPEACHED
_____
HE FACES A SENATE TRIAL, 2D IN HISTORY; VOWS TO DO JOB TILL TERM'S 'LAST
HOUR'
By ALISON MITCHELL
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 - William Jefferson Clinton was impeached on charges of
perjury and obstruction of justice today by a divided House of
Representatives, which recommended virtually along party lines that the
Senate remove the nation's 42d President from office.
A few hours after the vote, Mr. Clinton, surrounded by Democrats, walked
onto the South Lawn of the White House, his wife, Hillary, on his arm, to
pre-empt calls for his resignation. The man who in better days had debated
where he would stand in the pantheon of American Presidents said
he would stay in office and vowed "to go on from here to rise above the
rancor, to overcome the pain and division, to be a repairer of the breach."
Later, Mr. Clinton called off the bombing in Iraq, declaring the mission
accomplished. Mr. Clinton became only the second President in history to be
impeached, in a stunning day that also brought the resignation of the
incoming Speaker of the House, Robert L. Livingston.

He was charged, he was not convicted. With no conviction he is innocent.
Sorry but your impeachment song doesn't play any longer

And that's all you really need to know about the Democrat party.
Arguably
the most unprincipled man ever to hold the office. Impeached. And he's
still their hero.
