<<Is impeachment a political or a semi-criminal process? It has never been entirely clear. If political, then what you say is true and American govenment is simpy an odd variant of a parliamentary system. If, however, it is not simply political, you need grounds. >>

It should be totally clear from the impeachment of President Clinton that the process is indeed political. If it were otherwise, lying under oath in a federal court and to a federal grand jury would be sufficient grounds for removal from office. Clinton and his associates managed to convince the American people that the case was only about sex, and therefore there was no broad public outcry among the masses for his removal for perjury.
