Impeachment is similar to indictment, meaning accused of a crime to stand trial for. The house votes to impeach, then senate votes if the president is to be removed from office. Both cases of presidents being impeached--Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton--resulted in a acquittal by the Senate. (Nixon only had articles of impeachment passed by a house committee, but was never formally impeached.)

President Clinton was impeached. Impeachment is the bring of charges against the president by the House of Representatives. The Senate chose not to try him. So, although he was impeached, he was not removed from office.

He was impeached. The House voted to impeach him. The Senate did not remove him from office though.
However, unlike Nixon, who resigned after he was impeached, Clinton did not. He was not removed from office, but that does not mean he was not impeached.

Yes he was impeached
Impeached does not mean removed from office
It means the congress has issued articles of impeachment

Impeachment is the trial, not the result. Yes he was impeached, but he was not convicted.

He was impeached (there was enough evidence to start proceeding to throw him out of office)
