Dream about it? Well yes, but you brought up an interesting point there. But it also brings up another point about double jeopardy.

"...it also brings up another point about double jeopardy."

Double jeopardy would only to apply to the Perjury and Obstruction of Justice charges which were the basis of the first impeachment. If we were to re-impeach Clinton, the charges could range from Abuse of Power, Conspiracy to commit any number of felonies, or even Treason for his selling of nuclear secrets to the Chi-Coms. For the treason at least, there is no statute of limitations.

Legally, I do believe re-impeachment is a viable alternative...politically, it may be another matter.
