(impeachment of Bill Clinton)

[I]At the federal level, the impeachment process is a two-step procedure. The House of Representatives must first pass, by a simple majority of those present and voting, articles of impeachment, which constitute the formal allegation or allegations. Upon passage, the defendant has been "impeached". [/URL])

Clinton was impeached, but not convicted. Impeachment does not always lead to removal.
