So let me see.. The Liberal meme is that going after Clinton for having an affair with a 22 year old in the Oval Office then lying about it under oath was because of Nixon when it was the Republicans who told Nixon to resign because they would vote to impeach him?


WOW..

Talk about twisted logic.


Republicans forced Nixon to resign or be impeached.. Democrats defended Clinton to the point saying that laws didn't matter.
talk about twisting and spinning what someone has said.   What clinton did was not impeachable, what Nixon and REAGAN did was.



Sure what Clinton did was impeachable..

He was impeached.   Just not convicted.

Impeachment is analogous to indictment in regular court proceedings, while trial by the other house is analogous to the trial before judge and jury in regular courts. Typically, the lower house of the legislature will impeach the official and the upper house will conduct the trial.
