October 5, 1998
The House Judiciary Committee votes to launch a congressional impeachment inquiry against President Clinton.


October 8, 1998
The House of Representatives vote for impeachment proceedings to begin against Clinton. The House judiciary committee will be given wide powers to draw up detailed charges against Mr Clinton, based on 11 allegations by the independent counsel Kenneth Starr in his report on the Monica Lewinsky affair.

December 11, 1998
The House Judiciary Committee approves three articles of impeachment on a 21-16 party line vote, passing them to the full House of Representatives. The three articles accuse Clinton of lying to a grand jury, committing perjury by denying he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, and obstructing justice. Clinton declares himself "profoundly sorry" and willing to accept censure.

December 19, 1998
President Clinton is impeached as the Republican controlled House approves two of the four proposed articles of impeachment by narrow partisan majorities: 228-206 and 221-212. Mr Clinton is sent for trial in the Senate.

In the past, the entire House voted to open inquiry into an impeachment and once the Judiciary Committee suggest charges then the entire House votes to impeach or not.

It has taken an entire house vote to start the proceedings and another, of course, to finish them. The Dems are trying to cover people in contested districts by not making them go on record and voting for an impeachment inquiry.
