Post impeachment Congress opens with unsure bipartisan aims
President Clinton and congressional leaders begin the post impeachment session with a White House meeting seen as largely symbolic. Republicans distrust the White House over Social Security and tax cuts, and the gulf between parties appears too wide for major agreements this week. Bill Connelly of Washington and Lee University calls the meeting showy and unlikely to bridge deep divisions. The session follows Clinton's Feb. 12 acquittal and ongoing partisan tensions rooted in 1995 budget talks.
