esolved, that william jefferson clinton, president of the united states, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors...\ -house of representatives, articles of impeachment, december 19, 1998 which \high crimes and misdemeanors\ did this document claim the president had committed? (1 point)
receiving illegal bribes when he was governor of arkansas
lying under oath in a legal proceeding and obstructing an investigation
secretly trading arms for hostages in violation of a congressional prohibition
not taking sufficient measures to protect the u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania

Explanation:

The question is about identifying which action was considered a "high crime and misdemeanor" leading to President Clinton's impeachment. Lying under oath in a legal proceeding and obstructing an investigation (perjury and obstruction of justice) were the charges against Clinton. Receiving illegal bribes was related to another context (governor of Arkansas, not the impeachment charges here). Secretly trading arms for hostages was part of the Iran - Contra affair (Reagan era). Not taking sufficient measures to protect U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania was a different issue (not an impeachment charge for Clinton).

Answer:

lying under oath in a legal proceeding and obstructing an investigation
