During his second term, Bill Clinton was impeached in December 1998 by the House following the news of the Lewinsky scandal, on the grounds that Clinton committed perjury and obstruction of justice. But the charges weren't drawn in response to Lewinsky, but to Paula Jones' lawsuit four years earlier. The proceedings lasted two months, with Clinton being acquitted in February of 1999, in a 55-45 vote against his impeachment, according to Time magazine. The couple moved to Chappaqua, New York, in 2001 after Bill's second term ended.
