The Senate Trial Record & Statements by Senators	The Impeachment Trial of President Clinton by Douglas Linder (c) 2005 In 1999, for only the second time in United States history, the Senate  conducted an impeachment trial of a President. The acquittal of William Jefferson Clinton on February 12 came as no great surprise, given the near party-line vote on impeachment charges in  the House of Representatives leading to the trial.  Despite its predictable outcome, the impeachment trial of President Clinton is well worth studying, both for what it says about the failure  of the judiciary and political institutions to respond adequately to an unprecedented situation, and what it tells us about the failures of Bill Clinton, the all-too-human occupant of the nation's highest office.  The trial also raises fascinating questions about the distinction between public morality and private morality.
