In 1998, the House of Representatives impeached President Clinton on charges of obstruction of justice and  perjury.

Apart from the achievements and failures of his second presidential term, this was particularly marked by the extensive media coverage of the sexual scandal in which he was involved, mainly linking him to the White House Scholar, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate in Psychology, who had intimate relations with the president. On August 6, 1998, she became the first witness to refute the affidavit of a President of the United States, in which he denied having had sexual relations with her.

The prosecutor accused the president of eleven serious crimes worthy of an impeachment process, perjury, abuse of power and obstruction of justice.

On October 8, the Congress voted 258 to 176 votes in favor of the impeachment process. After a few months, Clinton admitted to having maintained an "improper physical behavior", although he denied having committed perjury.

On February 12, 1999, the upper house declared Clinton "not guilty" of the crime of perjury by 55 to 45 votes in favor, and of the crime of obstruction of justice with a tie to 50.

i am sure of this !

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
