Plausibility check: Impeachment of George W Bush

Politically it was ASB, legally for launching aggressive war contrary to treaties which are part of the supreme law of the USA

Politically, Cheney was the next man up. Plus until 2006, the GOP ran Congress. So unless the Dems wanted to make a statement late in his presidency and risk Cheney '08 all for a certain acquittal that makes them look bitter about the Clinton impeachment, impeaching W doesn't stand a chance.
 
If Scooter Libby had implicated Bush during the Grand Jury investigation into the Valerie Plame scandal there would be grounds. Congress regardless of its makeup would be forced to go through the motions of impeachment; this would be coming from a republican DOJ one year before the 2006 midterms so Hastert would have no alternative especially considering the Abramoff scandal and other misconduct allegations coming to light.
