Fun fact: Then-Rep. Lindsey Graham was an impeachment manager.
Senators Blunt, Burr, Crapo, Moran, Portman, Thune, Wicker were in the House in '98 and voted to impeach over obstruction.
Crapo then was sworn in as a senator in time to vote Guilty on the obstruction article with the others listed.
You need a two-thirds vote in the Senate to remove a president from office.
There has never been a successful vote to remove a president in U.S. history.

Nixon resigned before he could be impeached by the House.
