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. The new petition declares: "Impeach Bill Clinton for the Right Reasons: Not for Lewinsky, but Rather for the Illegal Bombing of Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan." 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). Although Congress "shall have Power to . . . declare War," Clinton only marginally consulted a few of its leaders and did not go through the required stages of meaningful consultation as mandated by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Also violated, according to these historians, was Executive Order 12.333, Sec. 2-305, which prohibits assassination or conspiracy to assassinate human foreign targets
