Answer 3

Most Americans condemned Clinton’s actions but opposed impeachment. Congressional Democrats, similarly, did not believe his behavior met the standard of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Mis-demeanors” required by the Constitution for the impeachment and removal of a President. Nevertheless, the House of Representatives, led by the Republican majority, impeached Clinton on the charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. In January 1999, the Senate tried the President. The removal of a President requires a two-thirds majority of senators, and from the beginning, it was clear that Clinton’s opposition did not have the necessary votes. After a short trial, the President was acquitted on both counts on February 12.

Answer 4

On November 19, 1998, Independent Counsel Starr testified before the House Judiciary Committee in connection with the Impeachment of Bill Clinton over charges related to the Lewinsky scandal. Here, Starr said that in late 1997 he had come close to preparing an impeachment report related to Whitewater, in particular related to the fraudulent $300,000 loan to Susan McDougal, and to whether the President had testified truthfully regarding the loan.
