I am quite well aware of the Constitutional provisions for impeachment. We had a recent lesson, in case you forgot. :-)

The question is whether the conditions were met. It is not all clear that any existing laws were broken. You find one, you might have a basis, but to this point in our history the requirement has been that the President must have broken an existing law to be impeached. In the case of Andrew Johnson, Congress passed a law in advance that they knew he would break to entrap him. The USSC later declared that law unconstitutional as a violation of the separation of powers.

And, as WR pointed out, a Republican Congress isn't going to impeach. You'd better start praying you take the House and Senate in '06; otherwise you're stuck.
