Bill Clinton Impeachment Ticket 1999 - The Day Of His Acquittal

Ticket, 5-1/2" x 2-5/8", to the Senate impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, date-stamped February 12, 1999. This ticket is signed by "James Rogan, House Manager 1999". Charged with perjury and obstruction of justice, Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives but ultimately acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. Red ticket reads, "106th Congress - First Session / United States Senate / Impeachment Trial of the President of The United States" and admits the bearer to the Senate Gallery. Near fine condition. James Rogan, because of his background as a prosecutor and his reputation for respect among Republicans and Democrats, Rogan was selected to be one of the thirteen house managers in the impeachment trial of President Clinton. Although Rogan and his predecessor in the 27th District were both Republican, the district had been trending Democratic for some time, and many of the district's constituents opposed the impeachment. In 2000, Democrats made defeating Rogan a high priority in the U.S. House races, and he was defeated by then state senator Adam Schiff in the most expensive House race in history at the time.
