    Its not about whether hes done anything he could be convicted for criminally (though he has).

    My pasta in Crisco, impeachment and removal is exactly about an elected or appointed official violating legal or ethical codes of conduct.

        Clinton’s impeachment was for perjury after he testified that he did not have “sexual relations” with her. The Senate didn’t convict because before he testified he asked the House committee to define terms and they defined “sexual relations” as intercourse, so under the definition they gave he did not lie about it.
