Second Time as Tragedy Again

March, 1969. With the Vietnam War going nowhere fast, and an approval rating of 25%, Richard Nixon begins the secret bombing of Cambodia. He's impeached in 1974, for blatant violations of the law and high crimes and misdemeanors, none related to causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

August 2007. With the war in Iraq going nowhere fast, and an approval rating in the low 30s, George W. Bush continues to try and maneuver the US into the public bombing of Iran. Talk of impeachment is considered "fringe" and "extremist" and unserious.
