And so the news says he was impeached... The news also said he was
acquitted...

Lets see, acquittal, means he was found not guilty.

That was verified by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court:
"It is therefore ordered and adjudged that William Jefferson Clinton be
and
hereby is acquitted of the charges in the said articles," declared Chief
Justice William Rehnquist in the Senate chamber.

Sorry, you were outvoted by the United States Senate, you were also called
a
liar by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Get over it, Clinton was found INNOCENT by a jury of his peers.

I'm sorry that your understanding of our legal system is lacking. You are
either found guilty or not guilty. There is no finding of innocence.

in·no·cent
adj.
1.. Uncorrupted by evil, malice, or wrongdoing; sinless: an innocent
child.
2..
1.. Not guilty of a specific crime or offense; legally blameless:
was innocent of all charges.
2.. Within, allowed by, or sanctioned by the law; lawful.
ac·quit
tr.v. ac·quit·ted, ac·quit·ting, ac·quits
1.. Law. To free or clear from a charge or accusation.
Funny, they both say the same thing... Bill Clinton was found
INNOCENT, he was ACQUITTED

Sorry you guys can't seem to see this... It is very difficult for me
to put things in laymen's terms if you want to change the rules.

Here let me give you a reference point...

McDougal not guilty on one count; mistrial declared on other two
charges

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AllPolitics, April 12) -- Whitewater figure
Susan McDougal was found not guilty Monday of obstruction of justice but the
judge declared a mistrial after jurors said they were "hopelessly
deadlocked" on the criminal contempt charges.

U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr. declared the mistrial on two
criminal contempt counts just before jurors delivered the innocent verdict
in the courtroom.

I see here it doesn't say McDougal was acquitted... No it says the
jury delivered the "innocent" verdict.

Sorry Bert, you've been beat again

That was not the point of my post. It was to show that you didn't
understand what impeachment meant. Unfortunately it went right over your
head.

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
