Former President Bill Clinton’s second term as POTUS was entangled with scandal, ended with impeachment
Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States.
He was born on Aug. 19, 1946, as William Jefferson Blythe III. His parents were, William Jefferson Blythe II, who died in a car accident before Clinton was born, and Virginia Cassidy Blythe. Clinton was raised by his grandparents until his mother returned from nursing school.
Clinton, a Democrat, served two terms in the White House, but was impeached by the House of Representatives during his second term on Dec. 19, 1998, for committing perjury before a grand jury and obstructing justice.
Before Clinton led the nation as a two-term president, he graduated from Georgetown University. He later received a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University and a law degree from Yale University in 1973.
His political venture started in Arkansas, where he was elected attorney general in 1976 after being defeated in his first run for Congress two years prior.
WHAT MAKES A PRESIDENT GREAT?
In 1978, he became governor of Arkansas, but lost for a second term.
Four years later, he returned to his role as governor, and then started his presidential campaign against Republican George H.W. Bush.
In 1992, Clinton and his running mate, Albert Gore Jr., were successful in their campaign, defeating Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot for the White House.
In 1996, Clinton won a second term as president, this time defeating Republican Bob Dole and, again, independent candidate Perot.
His presidency became known for accomplishments such as high homeownership, 22 million jobs created and low unemployment rates, but scandal ensued during his terms, too.
CLINTONS ENDORSE KAMALA HARRIS HOURS AFTER BIDEN DROPS OUT
During Clinton’s second term as president, he was impeached by the House of Representatives.
His impeachment partly stemmed from sexual harassment claims against Clinton by Paula Jones, that were said to have occurred before he was elected president, according to a research guide by the Library of Congress.
After Clinton was re-elected, evidence came to light of an extramarital affair between the president and Monica Lewinsky, a White House Intern.
Initially, Clinton denied the affair and Lewinsky corroborated the sworn testimony of Clinton.
The investigation was led by the late Kenneth Starr. Before the grand jury, Lewinsky admitted to the sexual relationship with Clinton, and the president admitted to the affair.
In December 1998, the House voted in favor of two articles of impeachment against Clinton, finding that he had committed perjury and obstructed justice. He became the second president in American history to be impeached, the first being Andrew Johnson.
During the Senate trial of 1999, Clinton was acquitted.
After the trial was over, Clinton apologized to Congress and the American people for his behavior, and continued his term as president.
Following his presidency, he continued to be involved in politics. He has shown unwavering support for Democrats, including his wife, Hillary Clinton, who ran for the presidency herself in 2016, but was defeated by Donald Trump.
Clinton has also penned a number of books through the years, including after his presidency, such as “My Life,” “Back to Work” and “Citizen: My Life After the White House.”

BECKLEY, W.Va. (WCHS) — Two Ohio men were arrested in Raleigh County after police said they found a large amount of drugs during a traffic stop.
Andy Gray Jr., 44, and Cornell Stevenson, 54, both of Cleveland, Ohio, were arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop just after 1:30 a.m. Friday in the 1900 block of Harper Road for allegedly speeding, according to a news release from the Beckley Police Department.
Based on observations during the traffic stop, officers deployed a K-9 around the exterior of the vehicle which alerted to the presence of narcotics.
During a search of Gray, Stevenson and the vehicle, officers said they found 445 grams of fentanyl, a small amount of cocaine and $3,500 in cash. Police said the fentanyl has a street value of about $90,000.
Gray, the driver of the vehicle, was charged with obstructing an officer, conspiracy to commit a felony, fleeing on foot and possession with intent to deliver, according to jail records.
Stevenson was charged with possession with intent to deliver, conspiracy to commit a felony and possession of a controlled substance.
Both men are each being held on $75,000 bonds.

South Dakota: GFP Commission modifies bounty program – focuses on youth trapping and coyote removal
The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) Commission passed a resolution to end the current Nest Predator Bounty Program at their March meeting in Pierre and create two separate programs within the existing budget and time period.The Nest Predator Bounty Program began in 2019 with the implementation of the Second Century Initiative. This reinvigorated trapping as an outdoor recreational opportunity and a means to get youth engaged and spend more time outdoors.
Data collected from the program shows that the level of youth participation over the past 4 years has exceeded 30%. In 2024 and 2025, youth participation reached 46%.”The Nest Predator Bounty Program has been incredibly successful at engaging youth in wildlife management and our tradition of trapping in South Dakota,” said Kevin Robling, GFP Secretary.
In total, 342,743 nest predators were removed since the program’s inception.”Intense nest predator removal in localized areas during the nesting season can contribute to higher nest success and we encourage individuals to continue to participate in this management activity,” continued Robling. “In 2026, we are going to focus on continuing to get youth outdoors and addressing our coyote population.”
As part of this focus, the current Nest Predator Bounty Program is ending. The allocated $500,000 for this program will be split into two separate programs: the Youth Trapping Recruitment Program and the Coyote Bounty Program.
Youth Trapping Recruitment Program
The Youth Trapping Recruitment Program will be open for South Dakota youth age 17 and under. Tails from raccoon, striped skunk, badger, opossum, and red fox will be worth $10.The program will run from March 1-July 1, unless the $200,000 limit is reached first.”Youth recruitment and retention in trapping and wildlife management is a key component of this program,” said Robling. “We are thrilled with the amount of youth participation we have seen, so we want to continue this momentum.”
Coyote Bounty Program
The Coyote Bounty Program will be open for all South Dakota residents. Tails from coyotes will be worth $30.The program will run from April 1-July 1, unless the $300,000 limit is reached first.”Controlling the coyote population is critical for both our agricultural industry and wildlife populations,” stated Robling. “The newly created Coyote Bounty Program will assist in the management of these predators to help protect newborn calves and lambs for agricultural producers and enhance fawn survival for deer and antelope.”
Tail Submission Opportunities
Individuals wishing to participate in either of these programs may submit tails to their local GFP office during designated tail turn in opportunities. Households are eligible to submit up to $590 worth of tails in each program.
