Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell talks to reporters in the hallways of the US Capitol Building during the Senate Impeachment Trial of Bill Clinton on Jan. 9, 1999.
- A little more than 20 years separates the impeachment trials of former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump.
- Twenty-eight current senators will have had a say in the outcomes of both.
- Last time, most voted along party lines. The notable outlier was Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who voted to acquit Clinton, and will be voting again on whether Trump should be convicted.

Very few will be able to say they voted in the impeachment of two presidents.
Of the senators who will decide whether to convict President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, 28 were also in Congress when former President Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998.
Clinton was acquitted. Congress voted largely on party lines, except for two Republicans - Sen. Susan Collins, who voted "not guilty" for both impeachment articles, and Sen. Richard Shelby, who voted "guilty" on one and "not guilty" on the other. The partisan divide looks likely to be the same this time.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was in the House at the time, even served as an impeachment manager prosecuting Clinton.
These are the 28 senators who were in Congress during Clinton's impeachment, and what they did then.
