History

Historical Context

Following the September 1998 Starr Report, the House authorized an impeachment inquiry on October 8 1998 and, under Speaker Newt Gingrich, approved two articles on December 19 1998; the Senate trial in early 1999 concluded with a 45-55 vote against conviction. The backlash cost Republicans their expected 30-seat swing, with Democrats adding five seats, a pattern echoed in September 2026’s partisan clashes.
