Ultimately, as has been said before, an impeachable offense is whatever the House and Senate say it is. When it was gleefully invoked against Andrew Johnson, it was obviously a partisan assault. Nixon's alleged crimes were so glaring and extreme that Congress almost had no choice but to launch an impeach process against him. There's really no use arguing about an objective criteria for what is impeachable. The constitution is maddeningly vague on this question. Teleological questions of should Clinton be impeached are almost moot. It's a political power game and the Republicans call almost all the shots.The big questions, IM very HO, are:

Can the Republicans convince enough swing voters to come along with them for this ride or at least shut up?
Do the Republicans really want Al Gore as in incumbent in 2000?
Can Republicans convince enough Democratic Senators to jump ship and vote against Clinton?
