What events lead to the impeachment of President Clinton?

A) None of these answers.

B) His involvement in scandal which jeopardized his presidency.

C) His refusal to implement social programs domestically.

D) The declining economy under his presidency.

I think it's D

No.

Read about his impeachment.

Is it B?

Yes. He had sexual contact with a White House intern.

Actually, the correct answer is B) His involvement in scandal which jeopardized his presidency. President Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998 for charges of perjury and obstruction of justice related to his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. The scandal and subsequent impeachment trial were a result of investigations conducted by the independent counsel Kenneth Starr and the deposition Clinton gave under oath in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. The declining economy under his presidency (option D) was not the specific reason for his impeachment. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
