Impeachment of Bill Clinton By Kylie Shook and Beth Hess

When Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998 A two-thirds majority vote (67 senators) was needed to remove Clinton from office.

Why Clinton was impeached on two charges. One of perjury and another on Obstruction of Justice. No democrat in the senate voted guilty on either charge A second Perjury charge and an Abuse of power charge failed in the House. He was acquitted of both charges by the senate on February 12, 1999.

Investigation Ken Starr began the investigation of Clinton with the approval of U.S attorney general Janet Reno. Investigation included alleged abuse, alleged misuse of FBI files, and Clinton’s conduct to sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Arkansas government employee, Paula Jones

Paula Jones Paula Jones is a former Arkansas state employee who sued Clinton for sexual harassment. The initial incident occurred May 8, 1991 but she remained quiet until She filed a sexual harassment suit on May 6, 1994 and sought $750,000 in damages. Clinton Entered into an out-of-court settlement to pay Jones and her attorney's $850,000.

Monica Lewinsky During the investigation, Linda Tripp provided Starr with taped phone conversations with a former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, who discussed having inappropriate sexual relations with Clinton. Starr obtained further evidence of inappropriate behavior by taking the computer hard drive and records of Lewinsky.

Investigation continued Based on Clinton’s conflicting testimony, Starr concluded that he had committed perjury. Starr was criticized by the Democrats for spending $70 million on an investigation that substantiated only Perjury and Obstruction of Justice.

January 1998 Press conference When rumors of the Lewinsky Scandal reached the news, Clinton, against his lawyers orders, publically stated “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss. Lewinsky.” In the Paula Jones deposition, he again swore that he never had an affair with Lewinsky. Months later he admitted that his relationship with Lewinsky was wrong and not appropriate. e_Lewinsky_Allegations_(January_26,_1998)_B ill_Clinton.ogv (Clinton Press Conference) e_Lewinsky_Allegations_(January_26,_1998)_B ill_Clinton.ogv
