How Bill Clinton Became the Second President Ever to Be Impeached
Content: Bill Clinton remained president of the United States. But the forty-second president had hoped to be remembered for his leadership and the progress made during his administration. Instead, many people said he will be remembered for the charges against him. In October, 1999, Kenneth Starr resigned as the independent investigator. An assistant, Robert Ray, completed a final report on the Whitewater investigation. He issued his report in September, 2000. No charges were brought against the Clintons. The report said there was not enough evidence to prove any wrongdoing by President or Mrs. Clinton. Political experts disagree about what place in history William Jefferson Clinton will occupy. But the experts agree that Mr. Clinton’s influence on the United States will be debated for many years to come.
