Why didn't former president George W. Bush get impeached?
For the first six years of George W. Bush's eight years in office, the Democratic party was in the minority. Even when they earned a majority in the House and Senate in 2006, it is unlikely that there would've been enough votes to impeach Bush, let alone actually convict him. There are a few different reasons for this, but perhaps the biggest is re-election bids. While many Americans wanted to see Bush impeached, enough of them still liked the man that any senator or representative who voted for impeachment would probably lose their next election.
