Clinton became the second president in U.S. history to be impeached by the House in December 1998. The vote passed largely along party lines, with just a few Democrats voting in favor of articles of impeachment. The president was not removed by the Senate, however, and the American public's approval of Clinton remained high throughout the inquiry.
