The correct answer here is A. The Senate did not vote to
convict President Clinton on the charges that were levelled against him. A majority of
the Senate voted to convict on one charge and 50% of the Senate voted to convict on the
other, but a two-thirds majority is needed. This is why B is not
correct.
The House does not vote on whether to convict a
president who is impeached. The House votes on whether to charge the president--to
impeach him. However, it is the Senate that votes on whether to remove the president
from office. This is why A is correct and D is not.
