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.
