Impeachment of Bill Clinton - Commence Impeachment Proceedings Against Clinton
Time: Thursday Oct 8, 1998
Place: House of Representatives, Washington D.C., U.S.
Details: The Republican controlled House of Representatives voted 258-176 to commence impeachment proceedings against Clinton on October 8, 1998. Since Ken Starr had already completed an extensive investigation, the House Judiciary Committee conducted no investigations of its own into Clinton's alleged wrongdoing and held no serious impeachment-related hearings before the 1998 midterm elections. Impeachment was one of the major issues in those elections.
