&lt;i&gt;No, we did not.&lt;/i&gt;

I disagree.  

An argument can be made that once impeachment proceedings have started, the proceedings themselves are called &quot;impeachment.&quot;  

However, that not withstanding, the Constitution says &quot;The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.&quot;

Once the House voted to impeach Clinton, he was &quot;impeached.&quot;  The Senates vote has no bearing on whether Clinton was impeached.  Once again, referring to the Constitution:  &quot;The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.&quot;

It is difficult to say that Clinton was not impeached as if he was not, the Senate had  no right to vote or conduct a trial as they did.]]></description>

&quot;Didn’t we just recently impeach a sitting President for a similar circumstance?&quot;

No, we did not.  The House issued a bill of impeachment, but the Senate rejected it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;I&gt;Hmmm. The Agent was prosecuted for lying about sex. I thought that was ok in America.&lt;/i&gt;

It isn&#039;t the sex. It was the hiding of facts relevant to the case. .Didn&#039;t we just recently impeach a sitting President for a similar circumstance? Not that it seems to matter much. All most people see is the word &quot;sex&quot;. Past that, nothing apparently matters.]]></description>
