The House of Representatives convened Friday to consider whether to impeach President Bill Clinton, the first time the full House has considered such a move in 130 years. The decision by Republicans to convene even as the military mission on Iraq continued met with intense Democratic objections, but to no avail. The partisan plot thickened Thursday evening, as incoming House Speaker Bob Livingston, (R-La.), confessed that he, too, has had extramarital affairs. An impeachment vote is expected on Saturday.
