However, I'm not a lawyer and my memory sucks. Didn’t the Obstruction of Justice charge actually get more votes than the Perjury charge?

I thought the concern over the Perjury charge was that Clinton’s lawyers and Ken Star’s lawyers had agreed to a definition of sex before Clinton’s testimony and his sex with Lewinsky didn’t perfectly fit the agreed upon definition.
