I agree that the State of the Union Address is not made under oath


The SOTU is made under oath! It is covered by the oath of office where the President swears to faithfully carry out his duties, and a truthful state of the union is explicitly spelled out as one of his duties.

In practice the definition of impeachable is anything a majority of congress thinks is impeachable. (Or really I think its a majority of the house for impeachment and then 2/3rds of the senate for conviction).

but they certainly managed to start a war against a country that wasn't any imminent threat for the first time in American history.

That is probably an inaccurate statement.
