Impeachment is a 2 step process. Assuming you are whining about Bill Clinton then you as usual are not informed of the facts.
Bill Clinton was successfully impeached by the House. Bill Clinton was successfully acquitted by the Senate therefore he wasnt removed from office as the impeachment failed to pass both the House and the Senate and he wasnt removed from office. In other words the impeachment failed.
If only the House had the power to impeach, every president of the opposite party would likely get impeached, instead we have checks and balances..
Try to watch less fox news..
