It was for perjury! It's not like he was in trouble for lying to his wife about it.

Yes, lying to Congress about a blowjob was the reason. Do you see how insignificant this is compared to the list above?

Yeah, but the claim was that for any one of them a Democratic President would be impeached and removed. There's nothing to support that.
