Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on four Articles of Impeachment on December 19, 1998, but only two of the four realized conviction in the Senate on February 12, 1999, the trial thus failing to result in a removal of Clinton from office.
Where is the impeached official put on trial?
Impeachment is a two-step process; the impeachment phase is similar to a Grand Jury hearing, where charges (called "articles of impeachment") are presented and the House of Representatives determines whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant a trial. If the House vote passes by a simple majority, the defendant is "impeached," and proceeds to trial in the Senate. The Senate trial, while analogous to a criminal trial, only convenes for the purpose of determining whether a Justice (or other officeholder) should be removed from office on the basis of the evidence presented at impeachment. The Senate must return a 2/3 Super Majority for conviction.
