31. But there are only certain activites that impeachment is for

Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 01:06 PM by tammywammy

Treason, high crimes and misdemeanors - as laid out by the Constitution. Before Clinton could be impeached they had to prove the lying under oath falls under high crimes and misdemeanors. Pardoning, which is a right to all Presidents, wouldn't fall under it.

Congress has much to investigate, but no matter how you spin it a basic pardoning of Libby wouldn't fall under impeachable offenses.
