Best Answer

He cheated on his wife while in office. he cheated on Hillary withMonica Lewinsky. Hope that helps. :)

Answer -

Infidelity is not against the law. Even for an American president, as he proved many times. His crime was HE LIED. Also many times.

Another view:

The two impeachment charges were for perjury and obstruction of justice during the investigation into his relationship with Paula Jones. The Senate acquitted him on both charges in February 1999, so technically he is considered not guilty. He may literallybe guilty of one or both charges, but the facts were subject to interpretation.

If lying in and of itself were a crime, the whole human race would be guilty.

Additional information-

Facts are not really subject to interpretation when the accused admits to the American people on national TV that A) he did have "sex with that women" and B) He did in fact lie while under oath and to the American people.

On Oct 8th 1998 the house voted 258-176 (with 31 Democrats voting yes) the approving an open-ended impeachment inquiry of the president.
