    Explanation:

    The impeachment of Bill Clinton was initiated on October 8, 1998, when the US House of Representatives voted to commenc impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, for lying under oath and perjury.

    The charges were a result of a lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones and from Clinton's testimony denying that he had engaged in an improper relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky.

    On October 8, the House authorized a wide-ranging impeachment inquiry and on December 19, after nearly 14 hours of debate, the House approved two articles of impeachment, charging President Clinton with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice.

    Five weeks later, on February 12, the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. Clinton was acquitted on both articles of impeachment.
