The Democrat served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Clinton's presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky affair and subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically. His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and Secretary of State, also ran for president in 2016, but was defeated by Republican Donald Trump.
