Technically no, because he was acquitted. President Clinton was impeached by the US House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, on charges of lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstruction of justice. Impeachment is like indictment by a grand jury: The House reviews evidence, then votes whether they should file formal charges -- called articles of impeachment -- against a government official (in this case, the President). If a simple majority (51%) votes in favor of impeachment (filing charges), then the case goes to trial in the Senate. No one can be removed from office unless found guilty in a Senate trial. On February 12, 1999, the Senate acquitted (found not guilty) President Clinton of the charges (articles of impeachment) against him, so he stayed in office. If two-thirds of the Senators present had voted for conviction (to find him guilty), he would have been removed from office.
