Seems like they don't like foreign military engagements. DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON

Washington Post 3/6/99 Nat Hentoff "…Not widely known, however, is that more than 240 American historians have come forth with a call for impeachment -- on different grounds.

This proposed indictment was first circulated during the Jan. 7-10 meeting of the American Historical Association in Washington…. The petition cites a violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8).

Also violated, according to these historians, was Executive Order 12.333, Sec. 2-305, which prohibits assassination or conspiracy to assassinate human foreign targets…."
