Yes, the United States had a surplus under Clinton.
No -- the answer above confuses the "debt" with "annual deficit."
Yes, Clinton ran an annual budget surplus during certain years of his administration, but no, he did not attain "zero debt." That term refers to the accumulated debt of the U. S. since the 18th century, and Clinton added somewhere between $1.6 trillion and $2 trillion to the debt between 1992 and 2000.
For comparative purposes, during the 12 years of the Reagan and first Bush administrations, about $3.2 trillion was added to the debt, and during the 8 years of the George W. Bush administration, about $4.4 trillion was added.
-Tedwin223 Improved answer. Actually Bill Clinton gave us a Surplus, giving us SPENDING MONEY! When Bush came into office we plunged into debt and got a trillion dollar deficit.

What is the difference between paying off and discharging a debt?
I wonder if you mean a "charge off" rather than discharge? If you pay a debt off, you send them enough money to cover the cost of the purchase plus any interest charges, and they send you a statement with a zero balance. If you have a debt charged off, that means the load company has given up hope of ever getting the money out of you, they zero out the balance on their computers, and notify the credit bureaus that you are a deadbeat.
