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.
What else can I help you with?
Can the president be under arrest?
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.

What did Bill Clinton do as chief executive?
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.

What president was impeached in 1868?
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.

If the vice president is impeached who becomes president?
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.

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.
