All of the charges stemmed from his fucking Monica. The impeachment was almost strictly along party lines and there was nowhere nead the votes to actually convict him. If he can be impeached by the repubs for that, then you could make an argument that Bush lied about WMDs and Saddams ties to al-Qaeda. Recent investigations have shown that they had a lot of intelligence that showed there were no WMDs or ties to terrorist, but Bush chose to massage and cherry pick the intelligence so he could invade. Also there is a lot of question as to the legality of his wire tapping program. So if the dems wanted to, they have grounds to go after him. They will never get enough votes for it actually make it through, but they could try.
