House impeachment = criminal indictment
Senate hearing = criminal trial
So yes. Bill Clinton was certainly impeached.
Of course one has to remember that though Rep Henry Hyde and the other House manangers did their duty...the Senate Republicans (led by the spineless Bob Dole) did not do theirs. Not by any stretch of the imagination did Bob Dole allow any evidence be brought forth regarding the Articles of Impeachment.
Need I say more about the totally disregarded areas of China (illegal missle technology transfgers; illegal campaign funds) illegal use of FBI files/IRS resources that were not even consider in the House Articles of Impeachment.
Yes, He WAS impeached but the Senate failed to convict. Nevertheless, he was impeached. Those silly Dems and their lib media friends are trying to change the meaning of words.
House impeachment = criminal trial
Senate hearing = sentencing
Bill Clinton's deal was rather like having a guy convicted of child molestation, and then being given a suspended sentence.
You know, kinda like what goes on in court rooms around this country every day.
So - indicted but not convicted?
I think you mean to say, 'Trent Lott did not do his duty.' Bob Dole retired after the 1996 election.
