Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Republicans did vote in favor of impeachment, but they did not obtain a majority of votes. In fact, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Clinton along party lines, with 228 Republicans voting in favor of impeachment and 206 Democrats voting against it. However, because a two-thirds majority is required for impeachment, Clinton was not removed from office.
