How many votes did Bill Clinton get to be impeached?

With a two-thirds majority required for conviction, only 45 senators voted guilty on the perjury charge and 50 on the obstruction charge.

I think impeachment is the process of the trial, or leading to trial, not the removal of the President. A President is impeached, and then a trial ensues leading to acquital or conviction.

He was impeached by the House, which sent the matter to the Senate for trial, where he was acquitted by the 45–50 vote @marinelife mentions.

There were four votes, he was impeached on two.

Impeached
perjury 228–206 (before a federal grand jury)
obstruction of justice 221–212

Not impeached
perjury 205–229 (in a civil case)
abuse of power 48–285

That was one of the most wasteful and embarrassing episodes in Presidential history. If I was Clinton I would have told them that it is none of their business and be proud that I could eat pizza, smoke a cigar (I think that’s bad), have oral sex, and talk to a Senator at the same time.

The result was that we had a booming economy and budget surplus.

@Ron_C And, the backlash to the Clinton bullshit impeachment was getting fucking Bush running on family values, which helped get him the win.

Bush was just the icing on the cake in the Reagen supports wish to dismantle democracy in the U.S.

@Ron_C I didn’t like Reagan either. Why do you say dismantle democracy? I hated him for other reasons, but I can add another if you have a good argument. But, I think then we are hijacking this Q.
