History

Historical Context

The House’s December 19 1998 vote to impeach President Bill Clinton—228-206 on perjury and obstruction—followed the first modern impeachment inquiry launched on October 8 1998 and echoed the 1868 impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Clinton’s Senate trial, led by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, ended on February 12 1999 with a 55-45 acquittal, illustrating how narrow majorities stall removal. Rep. Al Green’s third impeachment filing against Donald Trump revives that same partisan dynamic.
