The repukes gaining congression seats in the 2002 mid term elections was not the first time that has occured. As recently as 1998, the Democrats picked up seats in a mid term election. Certainly, they did not regain majority status, but the results could be viewed as a rebuke of the impeachment process, as it was the first time since 1832 that the party of the then current President gained seats in the sixth year of the presidency.
