There were two articles and all 45 Democratic Senators stood against conviction on both counts. On one count, 5 Republicans voted to acquit and on the other 10 Republicans voted to acquit.

I think there were a couple of Democrats in the House on the impeachment. The notorious Gary Condit being one.

"Five Democrats (Virgil Goode, Ralph Hall, Paul McHale, Charles Stenholm and Gene Taylor) voted in favor of three of the four articles of impeachment, but only Taylor voted for the abuse of power charge."
