Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly
remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever to be impeached.
However, you can argue that Clinton did have some accomplishments as
president.
Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the
Clinton years was the reform of the welfare system. Clinton (with Congressional
Republicans) changed the welfare system to encourage more people to work rather than
stay on welfare. Clinton also presided over a boom in the economy that led to the
federal government actually running a surplus.
In foreign
policy, Clinton's biggest accomplishments had to do with peacemaking. Clinton helped
broker an agreement between the various parties in the wars in the former
Yugoslavia.
