Spin it all you want, but he was IMPEACHED. He *was* IMPEACHED. Get it yet? Jack "John Smith" wrote in message news:_Ffpc.3425$gr.255065@attbi_s52... The New York Times, December 20, 1998, p. A1, col. 6 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. wrote in message nk.net... He was charged, he was not convicted. With no conviction he is innocent. Sorry but your impeachment song doesn't play any longer |
