The House Judiciary Committee on Monday night approved launching a formal impeachment inquiry against President Clinton, only the third such investigation of a US president in history. The Republican-majority panel, on a party-line 21-16 vote, beat back Democratic attempts to set a deadline for ending the probe and for restricting it to the Lewinsky matter. The full House will vote later this week.
