George HW Bush Impeached Over Iran-Contra

What if George H.W. Bush had been impeached over Iran-Contra?

IIRC he was much more involved in it than Reagan was and it would be easier politically to go after him than Reagan himself.
 
Well, this hurts Reagan's credibility somewhat. But I think Reagan may be able to distance himself from Bush Sr.

This will likely make the republicans weaker in 1988 which means we probably get a different nominee.

Cuomo perhaps.

I think after Bush Bob Dole probably wins the Republican nomination.

The question is, with the Bush impeachment is the GOP nod worth it?

So, hestitantly one option that seems available is a Dole Presidency, or a Democrat in office during the Bush years combined with the fallout.

Wait-maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, when does said impeachment occur?
