Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The Senate did not reach a two-thirds majority vote in favor of removal from office.

Explanation

The impeachment of Bill Clinton was a judicial process in which Bill Clinton was confronted in the Senate and the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. This process began on December 19, 1998. However, Clinton did not lose his position because the vote did not reach the minimum necessary to remove the president (67 out of 100 senators). The final vote was 50 votes in favor of dismissal for the obstruction of justice case and 45 voted to dismiss him on the perjury charge. Therefore, the minimum of two-third was not reached, so the answer is A. The Senate did not reach a two-thirds majority vote in favor of removal from office.
