I have a stupid question.

[Langis]

Was Clinton impeached? I hear he was, and I hear it was unsuccessful. I know there was a impeachment hearing of some sort, but I don't know if he was actually impeached.

I was young and didn’t care about politics at the time, please don’t hurt me :spank:

1. Hey I was 11 lemme explain

Yes Clinton was impeached but he wasnt removed from office same thing happened with Andrew Johnson except Johnson was a vote away from being removed.

4. He was impeached, essentially found guilty

The next step was voting on removal from office or not, the fuckbags couldn't get enough votes for that.

5. Yes.

He was impeached. But the vote to force him to resign failed.

6. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask!

7. The House of Representatives acts like a sort of

grand jury. They "indict" the President -- that's what being impeached basically is -- and then he goes on trial in the Senate. The Senate is one big trial jury. If they get enough votes to convict, he is removed from office. If they don't, he gets to stay.

That analogy isn't perfect, but it's close. Hope it helps.
