Sorry Mr. Lewis, but you’re wrong when you wrote, “Yes, Clinton was never tried or convicted by the Senate.” He was in fact tried with the trial running from Jan. 7, 1999 through Feb. 12, 1999 and the trial was presided over by William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He was acquitted of perjury by a 55 to 45 vote, and obstruction of justice resulted in a tie vote of 50 to 50. So while it is accurate to say he was not convicted, it is inaccurate to say he was not tried.
