No one, because he wasn't impeached.

How was Bill Clinton still president after being impeached?
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.
