Second Impeachment In US History
On December 18, 1988 former President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representative on charges of perjury, obstruction of justices and malfeasance in office which arose from the Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones lawsuit. The trial proceedings were largely partisan, with no Democratic Senators voting for conviction and only five Democratic Representatives voting to impeach. In all, 55 senators voted not guilty, and 45 voted guilty on the perjury charge. Bill Clinton also was acquitted on the obstruction of justice charge. This was the second impeachment in American History.
On February 12, 1998 the Senate came back from closed deliberations with Bill Clinton acquittal.
This picture of Bill Clinton shows a man going through one of the biggest struggles and humiliation that a public person could go through.

Watergate
Watergate Scandal first came out in 1974 when there was a break-in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarter at the Watergate Complex. Although it was first assumed to be a simple robbery, further investigation revealed that there was a connection to Committee to re-elect the president and the president Nixon himself. Although he tried to cover up his connections, especially the tape of wiretapping, the U.S. Supreme Court declared him to hand over the tape. As a result, President Nixon resigned before he was impeached.

Impeachment of Bill Clinton
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7721501368569649933#
On December 19, 1998, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the house of Representative. I think it is important because he was only the second impeachment of a President in American history, following the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868. I think being a president, one should watch out himself’s behavior all the time as being an example of all the Americans.
