In a rare closed-door session Monday, senators debated a motion by Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) to dismiss the articles of impeachment against President Clinton. The vote on dismissal, to be taken after the Senate hears arguments Tuesday on a motion to depose witnesses, is expected to fail. The American public appears to favor a different outcome -- in a poll by CNN, USA Today, and Gallup, released Sunday, two-thirds of Americans said they wanted the trial to end immediately.
