Removing a president is a 2 step procedure: Impeachment and Trial. Impeachment is done by the House. It's similar to an indictment process where the lower legislative house acts like a grand jury. Impeachment is not a guilty verdict, it's a demand to hold a further trail in the upper legislative house. The House hands a Bill of Impeachment over to the Senate, at that point the accused is officially impeached. The Impeachment Trial is then held in the Senate. They either convict or aquit. The Senate does not impeach, they hold the formal trial. An aquital by the Senate does not negate the impeachment portion of the process. Only presidents who are impeached and then convicted are removed from office. I imagine that since we've never had a president go through both halves unsuccessfully, we've never come up with a generalized term for "skanky criminal booted out on his ass by the Senate". In Clinton's case he was impeached by the House on 2 of 4 counts and Senate aquitted. Then the Senate, in a seperate piece of legislation censured him. The censure was not part of the impeachment process, nor did it negate what the House did. http://www.abanet.org/publiced/impeach2.html http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/impeachment http://www.infoplease.com/spot/impeach.html and sigh, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States Sorry Aleric, while your source is rather time line extensive, it is incomplete on defining the actual process.

An impeached president does not serve out his full term in office which Clinton did. He was Censured but not impeached. With closing arguments completed, the Senate began three days of closed-door deliberations on the two articles of impeachment, with each senator limited to 15 minutes of speaking time. Senate Democrats had attempted, but failed, to open this process to the public via television. On Friday, February 12, television cameras were once again turned on inside the chamber and senators gathered in open session for the final roll call. With the whole world watching, senators stood up one by one to vote "guilty" or "not guilty." On Article 1, the charge of perjury, 55 senators, including 10 Republicans and all 45 Democrats voted not guilty. On Article 3, obstruction of justice, the Senate split evenly, 50 for and 50 against the President. With the necessary two-thirds majority not having been achieved, the President was thus acquitted on both charges and would serve out the remainder of his term of office lasting through January 20, 2001. About two hours after his acquittal, President Clinton made a brief appearance in the White House Rose Garden and stated: ''Now that the Senate has fulfilled its constitutional responsibility, bringing this process to a conclusion, I want to say again to the American people how profoundly sorry I am for what I said and did to trigger these events and the great burden they have imposed on the Congress and on the American people." http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/impeachments/clinton.htm No Clinton was not impeached.
