WASHINGTON – Ahead of the U.S. House vote to impeach President Bill Clinton, Arizona Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe’s office was inundated with calls from constituents hoping to sway him. He was one of a few moderate Republican House members at that time who hadn’t publicly declared whether they planned to vote to impeach Clinton. Every other Arizona Republican serving in the House in the time also voted to impeach Clinton. Republican Sen. Martha McSally last month called the House impeachment inquiry a “kamikaze mission” that would backfire and help Republicans. Arizona lawmakers did not play a role during the first presidential impeachment – the 1868 effort to oust President Andrew Johnson – because Arizona was not yet a state.
