The Founding Fathers believed that the country needed a strong President. Accordingly, they ensured that the road to impeaching and removing a Chief Executive from office is a long one, with many points along the route at which the case can be dropped. Use the "road map" on this page to trace the numerous steps that led to a Senate trial of Bill Clinton. For each turning point in the process, determine the date on which the event occurred, as well as the outcome. To assist you in this task, consult back issues of Time or the chronology at www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS
