How do you consider Clinton impeached when he was not removed from office?

Impeachment just means that the House of Representatives thought that Clinton had committed a crime, and that he should be put on trial. It's basically the same as an indictment.
Once a president has been impeached by the House, the Senate holds a special court trial to try to convict the president of whatever crime he has been impeached for. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court acts as the judge in the trial.
Clinton did indeed go through a trial but he was acquitted when the Senate failed to get enough votes to convict- it needs to be a two-thirds majority.

∙ 6y agoImpeachment is like an indictment-- an accusation of acts that would force out of office. However, it is only the first step in removing a president. Only the House can impeach a president and if it does so, the US Senate holds a trial based on the impeachment charges. In order to remove the president, 2/3 of the voting members of the Senate must vote in favor of removing him .
