The Bill Clinton Impeachment Explained: US History Review

[Defunct]

I never thought I'd live to see 2/3rds of all impeachments

I am 28 years old and want to thank you for straight forwardly explaining the context behind the famous sentence "It depends on what the definition of 'is' is". Thanks to you I can finally rest easy now.

Who's does your hair 😂.... Looks like a dead swamp

My goodness, this video is so slanted and bias. I remember how annoying those hearings'were, but, at the end of the day it isn't smart for anyone to lie to the "Grand Jury". I might also add, he lost his license to practice.

[hiphughes]

@Awsem Pinoy yes he was, impeachment means "charged" ....he was impeached on two counts. He was found not guilty at the senate trial.

[TheAndrewSchneider]

1998 elections: the one where Charles Schumer was elected to the Senate from the House. So he voted both against impeaching in the House, and to acquit in the Senate.

[hiphughes]

@yaqubali nope, common misconception. Impeachment is like being indicted

Thanks for this video I have a test on this on Thursday along with the Iran-Contra. Thanks so much more these video to help me study! :)

Thanks Hughes! Very helpful refresher before a presentation!

I have a question, I'm becoming confused you can bring a civil law sue to a sitting President, but you can't indict a sitting president even if there is 200 pages or reports on it's crime?

[hiphughes]

The impeachment worked! Not to be a technocrat but impeachment is just being charged with the crime in a sense. It was the trial which led to the acquittal. The house impeaches the President, the Senate holds the trial. And I agree perjury is a big no no, but he should of never had to face the civil lawsuit while in office. Thanks for the smart comment!

I remember vaguely hearing about this on tv.

[georgathomas]

He was impeached, but didn't leave the Office. How did that happen?

[hiphughes]

Im chirping in.Mike is right but I would add a *.I think the problem people have w the impeachment is to say he was impeached just for lying is disingenuous.The GOP was out for blood the sec. he got elected.it was a 6 year game of Gotcha.Oversight is crucial but w/ it becomes partisan &vengeful it can corrupt the process a& cause major cynicism in the electorate.When I balance the right to sue a sitting President with the needs the nation has an prez 100% on the job, I think it could of waited

I'd like to see a video on the hypocrisy of Kenneth Starr, and his career's destruction a decade and a half later for covering-up sexual irregularities on a college campus.

[bishopofapples]

The distinction between civil and criminal makes me nervous, because civil stuff can be awfully

Clinton should probably have lost his office, but then again lots of people probably should.

[hiphughes]

Not sure if this posted but I wanted to reply with a "my bad". You are truly a stand up guy who I respect greatly, no disrespect meant. And to my subbers/friends, check out ProfsPop own awesome historical videos done with his son Alan. They are truly awesome, go subscribe right now.

[jcamman]

as boring as it probably is, was the impeachment trial ever filmed? I've only seen a few parts of it, most of it just lawyers talking

[hillaryscandals]
