The strongest cases for impeaching GWBush and Clinton are remarkably similar; Clinton for prosecuting a war without Congressional authorization, Bush for bad faith in the determinations required under what amounted to a conditional declaration of war by Congress.

OTOH, the Clinton impeachment that actually occurred (and ultimately resulted in a Senate acquittal) was on a completely different basis.



But that's not why Clinton was impeached.


As I mention: “OTOH, the Clinton impeachment that actually occurred (and ultimately resulted in a Senate acquittal) was on a completely different basis.”
