2 part process, it's like charges.
Impeachment is the process of a Congress member drawing up the articles of impeachment (like a cop making an arrest claim). Then Congress votes on whether they seem realistic, needs 50% (A magistrate/state attorney filing charges)
Then the charges go to the judge/jury for verdict. Which is the Senate. They vote 2/3rds guilty to remove the president. Which did not happen. 57 senators voted guilty, and they needed 67 to remove. (7 of those 57 were Republicans, which is pretty impressive with how often parties fall in line).
But for sake of metaphor, charges were brought, he was found innocent
They found him not guilty. As in not enough evidence. Factual innocence is different. As in we have plenty of evidence he is innocent.
True, not guilty is more accurate. I was in the mindset of innocent until proven guilty, so used that term. Your wording makes more practical sense though. Just because a jury didn't find Casey Anthony guilty of killing her child doesn't mean she didn't kill the child.
I did not, because I'm not American, and I asked for someone to explain and they did, very well.
What did you think they were posting that explanation for in the first place?
