For its third season, the FX anthology series delivered a dramatisation of Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern, and the circumstances that led to his impeachment in 1998. Tripp, a friend of Lewinsky, secretly recorded their phone conversations and later delivered the tapes to special counsel Ken Starr, whose 1998 report led to Clinton’s impeachment. Bill Clinton in the Roosevelt Room of the White House as the House of Representatives conducts a full vote on whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings on 8 October 1998 Clinton remained in office until the end of his term on 20 January 2001, when George W Bush was inaugurated as the new US president. This is the subject of the 22nd amendment, which reads: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.” Therefore, Clinton wasn’t re-elected after being impeached by the House of Representatives, but not because of the impeachment.
