While a Congressman, his most notable achievement was the [[Defense of Marriage Act]] (DOMA) which stated that only a man and a woman could be legally married. He wrote the bill which was signed into law by [[President Bill Clinton]] in 1996. During the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, Bob Barr became nationally-recognized as a major proponent of impeachment.
