Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 by the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, stemming from his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky and his attempts to cover it up. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal conviction, and it meant that he was formally charged with misconduct while in office. However, he was acquitted by the Senate in 1999 and completed his second term as President. The impeachment highlighted deep political divisions in the United States at the time.
