Hi folks,
Tardily revisiting an issue, but it's still not clear to me. Clinton wasn't
censured but impeached, I gather. Judy said he was impeached only by the
House, not the Senate--so Clinton wasn't impeached? I recall hearing that
Clinton was indeed impeached (I guess by both houses of Congress), but then
was pardoned (by...?).
So what happened? Which action is stronger--impeachment or censure? Does
either necessarily lead to being ousted from office?
