President Bill Clinton's Impeachment
President Bill Clinton was impeached for two charges: perjury and obstruction of justice. He lied under oath about his sexual infidelity with Monica Lewinsky, an intern in the White House at the time. He obstructed justice by getting others to lie with him, attempting to cover up the entire scandal. He is the second of three Presidents to be impeached. He was later acquitted of the crimes in 1999. -
Bush v. Gore Decision
During the 2000 presidential election, candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore went head to head. Florida was the state that held the fate for the candidates. The election was a close call, so close that the decision was brought to the Supreme Court. The 5-4 decision in the Supreme Court called for Florida to stop the recount of the votes. This meant that Bush declared the winner of the election by a very small margin. The election is still widely up for debate today.
