Are you a lawyer or a legislator?
Would a lawyer please weigh in on the issue. I think impeached means accused or charged. Sittin thinks it means successfully convicted.
I am going on eighth grade civics and my memory of Watergate and the Clintons.
Geez louise! I don't need to be a lawyer to know how to read. Look it up for yourself.
I never said "successfully convicted" and don't misstate what I've said. I said Nixon was not impeached because you said Nixon was impeached.
Clinton was impeached.

Then find better sources.
Impeached means formally charged by a majority vote of the House of Representatives. Convicted means convicted by a 2/3 vote of the Senate.
Of Presidents, only Andrew Johnson and Clinton were impeached; neither was convicted. Nixon was about to be impeached-- the House Judiciary Committee had unanimously recommended one article of impeachment, and had recommended two others by big margins-- but he resigned first.
