"...he was never truly impeached..."

No, Bubba was impeached. He was not convicted.

Thank You skimbell!

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government.
Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it is only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and is thus only the first step towards removal.
Once an individual is impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from office.HEH HEH
