H. RES. 611
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
DECEMBER 19, 1998
Received
RESOLUTION
Impeaching William Jefferson Clinton, President of the
United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That William Jefferson Clinton, President
of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeach-
ment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of
Representatives of the United States of America in the

America, against William Jefferson Clinton, President of
the United States of America, in maintenance and support
of its impeachment against him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors.
HRES 611 RDS
ARTICLE I
In his conduct while President of the United States,
William Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional
oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the
United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, pro-
tect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,
and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed, has willfully corrupted and
manipulated the judicial process of the United States for
his personal gain and exoneration, impeding the adminis-
tration of justice, in that:
On August 17, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton swore
to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth before a Federal grand jury of the United States.
Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully
provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the
grand jury concerning one or more of the following: (1)
the nature and details of his relationship with a subordi-
nate Government employee; (2) prior perjurious, false and
misleading testimony he gave in a Federal civil rights ac-
tion brought against him; (3) prior false and misleading
statements he allowed his attorney to make to a Federal
judge in that civil rights action; and (4) his corrupt efforts
to influence the testimony of witnesses and to impede the
discovery of evidence in that civil rights action.
HRES 611 RDS
causing the grand jury to receive false and mislead-
ing information.
In all of this, William Jefferson Clinton has under-
mined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute
on the Presidency, has betrayed his trust as President,
and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law
and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of the
United States.
Wherefore, William Jefferson Clinton, by such con-
duct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from
office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of
honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
Passed the House of Representatives December 19,
1998.
