Why did Clinton get impeached?

Just a test for the ignorant who think he didn't.

Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice on December 19, 1998. Look it up.

    He BROKE the law! He lied to a grand jury! Why do some look up to him for this.

    If we, the people did what he did, we would be in JAIL. Why do some think he is great because he broke the law ( subject matter does not count) . He walks around like he did something grand during his lifetime. He did in my life, I became a Conservative! He should never have gotten away with what he did! In my book , he is next to the worst President we have ever had. ( He use to be first, till Obama became President).

    What a great example to put in front of our Children! LOL

    Add too Dan: He was impeached, What history book are you reading?

    Bush had suggestion that sponsored up his perception that Iraq had WMD. He did no longer have information asserting they did no longer... Bush's strikes ALL have been in the regulation. Clinton committed perjury till now a grand jury and grew to become into fined $900,000. If there grew to become into any threat of a useful impeachment of Bush, the Democrats might have appointed the committee to look at and all started impeachment complaints already. as a count of fact.. they gained't impeach Bush as a results of fact the examine might basically make it blatantly sparkling that no criminal action grew to become into taken by Bush. ********** i think of Bush has made a super style of undesirable judgements... yet i locate no longer something criminal. Being stupid isn't a criminal offense.... or Al Gore could be in for existence.

    Clinton lied 'under oath' in a congressional hearing, which would explain why Bush was not impeached. Through all of the many blatant lies he told, he refused to ever be 'under oath' in any hearing or to any investigative body, including 9/11. That alone says a great deal. Guess they couldn't find anyone patriotic enough to have "sexual relations" with him.

    He got a bloie in the oval office and lied about it. He was impeached for lying not for blowing on her blue dress(which she kept- strange!).

    He was not impeached, he was investigated. IMPEACHMENT is like convivtion as oppsed to tried.

    By the FISCALLY conservatives for a tune of $50M+.

    After Shrub, the GOP said that Clinton was "distracted" near the the end of his term.

    Wonder where they got that idea?

    He lied before Congress when testifying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

    He lied about getting a BJ. There was absolutely no chance of a conviction but the Republicans went ahead with it just because they could.
