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.
No person is above the law. However, the process by which an elected official is tried is substantially different but just as effective. He or she is first charged--this is called impeachment and is somewhat like an arrest. The second phase is the trial phase--this is called conviction. I suppose that an elected official could be remanded to custody upon impeachment if the charge were serious enough, but he or she would still be entitled to a trial. Only two Presidents have been impeached (i.e. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton). However, no President has ever been sent to jail because no President has ever been convicted of a crime. Richard Nixon was not impeached; he resigned his office.
No bill Clinton hasn't died yet and is still healthy as a horse.
As Chief Legislator, former President Clinton was unable to pass his healthcare reformation plan which would have ultimately covered most Americans who qualified. This proposal was overturned by the Republicans who controlled most of Congress in both houses. Yet, he was still able to pass the Omnibus Bugdet Reconciliation Act (1993) which cut taxes dramatically on the middle and lower classes and raised taxes on the top 1.2%. This act was seen as highly successful being that Clinton was a democrat and the majority in congress were republicans.
Barack Obama is the first African-American president, and he is currently still in the White House; he was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. His mother was a Caucasian college student; she was born in Kansas but later lived in Washington state and then Hawaii; she ultimately became an anthropologist. His father was a Kenyan senior governmental economist. President Obama is the first US with any certain African ancestry. ( There was a rumor that Harding's great-great-grandfather was black, but Harding's family denied it and genealogists have not turned up any evidence that it is true. )
No, he was murdered by another man before being put in jail on live television. If I'm thinking of another president, please correct me, but I'm almost certain it was Kennedy's killer.
William Jefferson Clinton has that uncomfortable distinction.
No, someone with a name sounding closer to him was.Andrew Johnson, as Vice President of the United States, succeeded Abraham Lincoln when Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. President Johnson was impeached by the US House of Representative in 1868 but the resolution failed in the Senate by one vote. Still, President Andrew Johnson, a tailor by profession, became the first US President to be impeached.
Only three U.S. presidents have been formally impeached by Congress: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. So far, no U.S. president has ever been removed from office through impeachment. In addition to Johnson, Clinton and Trump, only one other U.S. president has faced formal impeachment inquiries in the House of Representatives: Richard Nixon.
The vice president becomes the new President if the President vacates his office for any reason, including death, resignation, or forced removal via the impeachment process. Note that the President would remain president after impeachment until and unless the Senate votes to convict. Being impeached is roughly equivalent to when a criminal is indicted or charged with a crime. After that a trial is held and unless they are convicted, nothing happens. Both Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton were impeached. Neither was convicted by the Senate so they each remained president. If the Vice President is impeached as well, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
No she is not. Hillary is still happily married to the former President Bill Clinton.
Because his second term hasn't run out yet and he really hasn't done anything to warrant being impeached.
Would-be president of USA (still!).
Absolutely not! Barack Obama is!
Yes if the president retires with a pension and secret service protection for the rest of his life.
The US House of Representatives did, in fact, impeach President Clinton on December 19, 1998, making him only the second President to be impeached. He was acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The only other president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson in 1868.
Two U.S. presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, were impeached by the House of Representatives. Andrew Johnson belonged to the Democratic Party, while Bill Clinton was a member of the Democratic Party as well. However, neither of them was convicted and removed from office by the Senate.
Yes. To impeach only means "to be accused". President Clinton was one of a two presidents (the other was Andrew Johnson) who was impeached and he was still paid. We have yet to have president be removed from office by a trial. A President is "impeached" by the house and then tried by the senate. They have to be convicted by 2/3 majority of the senate in order to be removed from office. It would take a second conviction to remove the lifetime pension that all presidents of the United States hold. To date this has never occurred.
