Or any of the OTHER, ADDITIONAL affairs and trysts he had WHILE MARRIED. The articles of impeachment clearly stated that he was impeached for LYING TO CONGRESS. Like Nixon, if Bubba had simply admitted what happened, promised to take steps to make sure is never happened again, and OWNED their own behaviors, neither President would have faced impeachment.
Was President Nixon impeached as a result of the Watergate scandal?
Yes. President Nixon was impeached. However, we first must define impeachment. Impeachment is the trial that Nixon went through. He was found guilty (obviously guilty) and was therefore impeached.
