In 1998, the House of Representatives impeached President Clinton on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury.

The attempted impeachment of US President Bill Clinton (1998–1999) took place as a result of the scandal with Monica Lewinsky and subsequent court proceedings, which served as grounds for accusing Clinton of perjury and obstruction of justice.

Clinton was acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. Requiring a two-thirds majority for the conviction, only 50 out of 100 senators voted for the obstruction charge and 45 for the perjury charge.
