LOCATOR: CAPITOL HILL.
NATSOT: ARTICLE ONE IS ADOPTED.
The result was expected...impeachment, led by the Republican majority in
the House.
The effect extends a constitutional chill across the nation.
NATSOT: ARTICLE THREE IS ADOPTED.
Divided mostly along party lines, the House of Representatives approved
two of the four articles of impeachment against the President: perjury
before a grand jury...and obstruction of justice.
NATSOT: CLINTON AND WIFE WALKING TO PODIUM AT WHITE HOUSE.
After almost a year of denials, appeals, and finally contrition...Mr.
Clinton became the first President to be impeached in 130 years. But he
put the country on notice that he wasn't planning on going anywhere.
SOT (CLINTON): I AM STILL COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH PEOPLE OF GOOD FAITH
AND GOOD WILL OF BOTH PARTIES TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY TO BRING
OUR NATION TOGETHER TO LIFT US UP....IT'S WHAT I TRIED TO DO FOR SIX
YEARS IT'S WHAT I INTEND TO DO FOR THE NEXT TWO UNTIL THE LAST HOUR OF
THE LAST DAY OF MY TERM.
NATSOT: DEMCOCRATS WALKING OUT.
At one point, the Democrats temporarily walk out of the
House...protesting their failed attempt to censure the President instead
of impeaching him.
And the controversy claimed another significant victim.

SPEAKERSHIP.
Bob Livingston announced he would step aside as incoming House
