A few hours after the vote, Mr. Clinton, surrounded by Democrats, walked onto the South Lawn of the White House, his wife, Hillary, on his arm, to pre-empt calls for his resignation. The man who in better days had debated where he would stand in the pantheon of American Presidents said he would stay in office and vowed “to go on from here to rise above the rancor, to overcome the pain and division, to be a repairer of the breach.”
Later, Mr. Clinton called off the bombing in Iraq, declaring the mission accomplished.
