On September 21, 1998, television networks broadcasted President Bill Clinton testifying before a federal grand jury regarding his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. During his testimony, Clinton defended his previous denials of the affair. Months later, the House of Representatives impeached Clinton on charges of lying to a federal grand jury and obstruction of justice, but the Senate acquitted him the following year.

On September 21, 1981, the Senate in Washington unanimously confirmed Sandra Day O'Connor as the first female Supreme Court Justice in the United States.
