Impeachment is part of a 2 part process. The first being "impeachment" and the second being "conviction. Impeachment is just a formal legal declaration of some grand wrong doing. It does not forcefully remove a Federal Official from office. The second part, conviction, is the legal process. You can either receive "convicted" or "failure to convict".
President Clinton was acquitted by a vote of 50-50. Article II Section 4 of the American Constitution says "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

∙ 13y agoImpeachment does not necessarily result in removal from office. President Andrew Johnson was also impeached, but he served his full term as well. The nearest a recent President came to being impeached AND removed from office was probably Richard Nixon - but he resigned before Congress could impeach him. Had he not, he almost surely would have been removed from office.
